My Impromptu Video Interview on Sketchnoting at SXSWi '09

My Norwegian pal, Ove Klykken is a spur of the moment guy. He was inspired by Brian Artka's documentary film-making at SXSW Interactive, so he pulled out his little Canon SD1100 and had a little impromptu interview with me about sketchnoting:

I'd completely forgot about this interview until last night when Ove contacted me with a preview. In the interview I talk about why I sketchnote, challenges in sketchnoting and if I think someone needs to be an artist to do sketchnoting.

Enjoy!

Now this is getting ridiculous. A video of an interview about sketches of notes of speakers giving presentations. Do we need to add any more layers of abstraction?

[Mike Rohde]

Thanks for the comment.

Of course you don't need to read the post or watch the video if you feel it's too much of an abstraction. However I felt it worth sharing for those who are.

Cheers!

Great to hear you talk about sketchnotes. They are cool.

[Mike Rohde]

Thanks Martin, glad you enjoyed the interview.

Yes, I expect to be interviewed about my experience on making this masterpiece! After that I'll be grumpy towards anyone making anything while having fun ;)

Hee hee, you crack me up Ove! :-)
