[SURF'N BIRD - A TWITTER'S LIFE]

First place winner at the Vancouver 2009 Twestival This video was Inspired by social media's amazing ability to mobilize for great causes. Powershifter produced a short 60 second video to help promote the international campaign for Charity Water called Twestival. This was a call to answer "How do you use Twitter? Where do you use Twitter? What do you have to say about Twestival?" in less that 60 seconds contest. I was running on the treadmill and listening to The Cramps when I was inspired. A little iStockphoto and After Effect's later you I give you "Surfn' Bird - A Twitters Life". The video wound up 1st place overall and generally was very well received at the #yvrtwestival.

Most people that read my blog or know me understand that I have become a huge fan of the social media platform known as Twitter and have already had amazing use of the tool in more forms that I can mention.
