• CEO at Digital

Domain and Mothership

Media.

• He executive-produced

the Academy Award-

winning visual effects

for the Curious Case of

Benjamin Button,

Titanic, Tron: Legacy,

Fight Club, and others.

• Ulbrich has worked on

several music videos

and more than 500

commercials

Ulbrich explains how

they found a new

technology that allowed

his team to blur the line

between digital creation,

and actor for the motion

picture the Curious Case

of Benjamin Button.

Ulbrich followed very

well the advice from

Reynolds to use “less as

more”. Even more, he

avoided Bulleted slides.

He used very few words on

his slides and relied more

on high quality pictures, and

videos.

He also follows Duarte’s tip

of story telling by sharing

stories of his research.

I learned to keep your

audience entertained by

using comedy or sharing a

lot of examples.

It is important to be clear in

your information, and

confident when you talk so

people understand your

speech.

Always be creative, and

don’t be afraid of trying

something new.

They kept a strong eye contact,

and confident voice tone.

They Kept their audience engaged

on their own ways, and both were

very passionate about their topics

Mr. Robinson’s speech had a

different motive than Ulbrich’s

because he wanted to convince

people to make a decision, while

Ulbrich was only informative.

Robinson used more hand gestures

and comedy.

Ulbrich was all about pictures and

videos.

• KEEP THINGS SIMPLE.

Images tell more than

words.

• Prepare for your

presentation. Give a lot

of examples.

• Use very short videos

• Make a strong

appearance on stage (

good voice, eye contact).
