12 seconds: Pecha-kucha for video blogging

written on October 2nd, 2008 by Zach Braiker

Pecha-kucha is a movement that refers to a type of  presentation structure. At a Pecha-Kucha event a presenter gets 6:40 to share a total of 20 slides, each 20 seconds long. And some very cool things happen when a presentation is structured in this way. Presenters arrive at their point much faster. And audiences pay attention too. There’s a chance they will miss something interesting. 12 seconds, a new video website, will hopefully do for videoblog what Pecha-Kucha has done for presentations. The site asks members to express themselves in 12 seconds of video. Here’s an example of Julia Roy doing just that.

I asked Julie why she uses 12 seconds. She replied: “I use it because I think it has potential. The 12 second interactions are unique, and it is surely easy to use as a Twitter video extension.”

So, if you have 12 seconds, go check it out.
