Minh gets mentioned on Reef Builders

[Jake Adams]

If so, then it was the same guy I met at RAP last year - he was a pompous ass then as well.

I think it's unfair to make such deep judgments about someone that you may have spoken to only once, for a few minutes, in such a hectic setting as a trade show.

I registered on this forum just to make sure that no one gets bent out of shape about my post and all you can think to do is take cheap shots. Real smooth Russ.

Minh, your videos are great, seriously. I like your Diogorgia vids too. I'll be keeping an eye on your vimeo account.

I think it's unfair to make such deep judgments about someone that you may have spoken to only once, for a few minutes, in such a hectic setting as a trade show.

That "few minutes" gave me a much greater basis to formulate an initial impression - directly, in person - than your "I am 27 and I am probably more of a techie than all of you combined" warranted on your first post here. We have biochemists, MDs, supremely talented 3D graphic artists, pro photographers, the owner of a high-end AV service, the owner of a marketing company, a nationally-recognized & published IT consultant, as well as numerous IT/technical types... programmers, sysadmins, etc.; there is plenty of 'techiness' here of all types! Your statement can only be described as inflammatory. A bit of advice from someone who passed 27yo a long time ago: Phrases like "no offense" and "don't take this the wrong way" most often serve to emphasize, not negate, the negative statement they accompany.

Jake thanks for signing up and stating your views. I started this thread to show that Minh got a mention on another site, since he's "one of ours".

Aside from that, while RussM is right about the very broad range of folks on this board, we don't need it to get out hand and turn into a flame war.

So at any rate, good job Minh on your work; glad you got some publicity from it!

You are correct, J., and I apologize for further derailing the thread. Personally, I rather like the vids... well done Minh!

Guess who's RKE and RKL he used???

LOL @ the sound of Minh getting out of the bath tub in between segments.

I think minh did a great job. Of course to each his own on the opinions of the style. Minh has a very different style artistically from me, but I can still give credit where credit is due for a good job.

From a completely neutral point of view, I think the videos were quality, not a huge fan of the camera jilting technique in the video presented but everything else is great...most importantly the client liked it.

And I think that Jake's blog is there to incite comments and discussions like this. Generally I would say that my opinion of him hovers along the same lines of so many people I've spoken too...but sometimes when you're in the public eye, you have to have a...lets just say... a personality that makes an impression ... or you're forgettable.

WOW! That was great work Minh.
