With #BatmanvsSuperman out I thought it would be good to offer some tips for turning media into messages, for those who like to preach the movies. I did a video on the subject and added a few more below. 1. Choose the right movie Not every movie is going to offer something useful…
I was scrolling through some Mashable articles and saw a headline with Justin Bieber and Minecraft in the same sentence. That immediately got my attention, not because I am a Belieber or because I’m a Minecraft crafter, but because the guys of TeamCrafted are just normal guys who like playing games and making videos…
