Ian Haigh talks about discovering the meaning of connecting worlds, connecting with people and the dark side of connect.
About the speaker

Leader. Warrior. Genius. Ian Haigh is none of these things. However he is very friendly, and reasonably tall.
Ian has been enamoured with computers from an early age, and eventually figured out that people will pay him to press buttons in the correct order. After stints in the world of prepress and design in Wellington, London, and Amsterdam, Ian moved to Sydney and now makes videos for his small (but perfectly formed) agency, Ketchup.
He currently films with Canon dSLRs, and animates with After Effects and Cinema 4D. Ian is happiest when spending hours programming a computer to do something automatically that would’ve taken minutes to do by hand.
Ian is becoming more comfortable speaking in third person, and has recently started blow drying his hair.
