Rethinking Powerpoint is a feature film that about one of the world's most used, and misused software products. Powerpoint is on over 300 million computers worldwide, and estimates are more than 2 million presentations are given using the software each week.
Despite the enormity of its user base, most presenters simply default to the typical template-driven, bullet point structure when preparing slides. Rethinking Powerpoint is a film focused on pointing out the problems with most presentations, and helping users of Powerpoint use the program to its full potential.
The 2 DVD set includes 4 different versions (cuts) of the film, 1) the main film, 2) a cut for public speakers, 3) a cut for slide designers, and 4) a cut for educators. The DVD also has a special section for meeting planners. It can be pre-ordered here.
Rethinking Powerpoint features interviews with experts on slide design, storytelling, graphics, stagecraft, and cognitive theory. The purpose of the film is to help the viewer look at the program from another angle, and guide them towards the twin goals of better slides and better presentations.
