Nice Forehead!

by alec on September 10, 2005

Everybody wants to do desktop video.  Apparently Sony and AOL are ready to jump in now, too.  All this to be there before Skype brings a video solution to market. 

I don’t understand the fuss.  Desktop video just isn’t that compelling.  To get a good picture you need to:

  1. Wear the right clothing. Makeup too, if you’re female.
  2. Be lit properly (do you have a video studio in your office?).
  3. Have the camera positioned properly (have you ever noticed how desktop video invariably shows the other person’s forehead, and not much else –> that’s because the camera is on top of the monitor!).
