Animation and video games will be the dominant medium of the 21st century. It might sound ridiculous but its true. As the storytelling quality rises to meet the spectacular graphics you will have incredible pieces of art. Just like Avatar… Check out the Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts for 2010 – always a good spot to find new talent.
Food programming will continue its meteoric rise because its brand friendly, relatable to everyone and has great visuals. Its amazing that some people thought the Food Network would never work because you couldn’t ‘taste the food’. Having brands that can easily integrate into the programming helps protect the ad revenue against time shifting and TV anywhere. All major food brands should be looking to create their own branded material – Instead of waiting to be invited into a show. Your advertising teams are letting you down!
Damon and Affleck burst on the scene in 1997 and now 13 years later with plenty of bumps, bruises, paydays and projects under their respective belts – they are seeking more control over their projects.

Look for something big to come out of these two. Really big.
Wish I was at this dinner.
The robots are coming! Our interaction with technology has been a straight interaction with specific gadgets but now technology will enable us to interact with the physical world in different ways. It starts with information conveyed using smart phones but be honest – this is the infancy of the inevitable computer chip implant into our minds. Infancy…but it’s coming.
