To add to the previous honor of having one of our talks from 2011 chosen as TED Editor’s Pick, we’re now also excited to have some of our production from 2011 being highlighted in the latest TEDx Innovations feature.
TEDxPresidio created a very impressive introduction for their event — a 3-D adventure tale of one man and his red x. The video featured impressive stunts along with a high speed tour of the city. Attendees received 3-D glasses and the intro ended with a bang, when the video’s star stormed the real live TEDxPresidio stage himself, moving 3-D to 4-D.

Congratulations to the team of volunteers behind the video, titled “Waiting in the Cliffs”. Featuring Tim Richards. Written, directed and produced by Jonathan Jackson. Director of photography: Jim Cummings. A film by Repertoire Productions.
