Mac Power Users episode 105, workflows with video producer Greg Jarden. Hello everyone this is David Sparks.

This is David Sparks.

Unfortunately Katie couldn't be here today.

She had a family emergency that required her to step away from the

computer for a little bit. But that's okay because I have a guest with me. Greg Jarden, welcome to the

show. Thanks a lot. Thanks for having me. Well thanks. You know, I really appreciate you coming on this show.

I first discovered you when I walked in the house one day

and one of my daughters was watching a video on the Apple TV.

It was this Kina Granus video called in your arms and it's amazing and so and you're the guy who directed it and really came up with the whole idea right?

Yeah, yeah.

So the way it works is you've got Kena singing,

but in behind her, you've got this moving jelly bean picture. I guess that's the way to describe it. I mean I've seen

jelly bean art before where people will take a bunch of jelly beans and glue it to a piece of

wood and hang it on the wall.

But this one moves. I just couldn't believe it.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Okay, so, so Greg, and then I saw you have a little making of video of this thing and so I was watching that and of course you've got Max all over the place and I said immediately we got to get this guy on the show and talk to him about how he did all this. So let's start with the

kina Granis one. Because you, I guess it's a little background, you're making a lot of, directing

a lot of music videos. And we're going to talk about several because you're using a lot of

interesting techniques to do it but this is the one that really went big isn't it?

Yeah this is the most popular one I've I've done so far. I mean it's got like millions of views and it's just it's just really amazing

But but let's just tell it talk a little bit about this one in particular to begin with.
