Aral Balkan

Yesterday, I got to interview Kevin Lynch, Adobe's Senior VP and Chief Software Architect on a range of topics including Flash on iPhone, Rich Internet Applications, Adobe AIR, and his recent engagement.

Kevin's one of the most influential folks within Adobe in terms of charting the direction that Flash takes and it's always great to get his insight into things. I hope you enjoy the interview.

• Hi Aral, Great that you were able to nab Kevin for so long! Thanks for posting. Can I offer a quick tip though with your new video blogging? Quick, go grab a tripod. It really improves the viewing experience and you can keep the subject in frame instead of having half his head cut off half the video :) Oh yeah, might want to stay out of the sun, poor Kevin looks a little pale on one side and really tanned on the other. Really looking forward to seeing more vids though. Wish I could make it to these conferences but just don't have the time at the moment. Graeme ps. Completely ignore me if you are already well aware of the above. Just wanted to toss those tips out though just in case.

• Hi Graeme, Yeah, two video production degrees (undergrad/grad) and you'd think I'd shoot better video, right? :) The problem with the shot isn't the framing, it's iMovie's settings (set to wide by mistake instead of 4:3). Actually, no wait, that was the issue with the stuff I shot on the iSight camera previously. In this one, I guess you just don't like my framing. I can't really carry a tripod around for practical reasons so somewhat shaky video it's going to have to be :) As for overall aesthetic quality, I'm going for content more than aesthetics at the moment. It was the only place nearby that had at least enough light to see by :) Figured I'd rather get the interview than not.

• I totally understand what you're saying, been there done that (seen the webDU 2006's meet the people app lately? cripes..) Anyways, looking forward to more stuff! Good luck in getting good opportunities with a good environment to shoot it (I know how tough it is) Graeme
