Honestly this presentation didn't work for me. I was amazed at the spectacle and a few things like perfect math world vs pixels and multi-sampler helped explain a few things but over all it was all over the place and didn't seem to get to many points or insights. It seems more like someone was asked to do a presentation, didn't have a solid idea of what to talk about, and so threw together a bunch of stuff until it filed their allotted time.
I'm not trying to be discouraging. A great presentation can go a long way to making things understandable. For example this video explaining jpeg worked for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2aEzeMDHMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2aEzeMDHMA
My point is only that fancy graphics and animation are not enough. The presentation actually has to get it's points across. Maybe this one worked for everyone but me but it didn't really work for me. I don't really know what to suggest to make it better. Maybe it all made more sense live with more talking.
There were a few "bugs" For example slide 22, bi-linear filtering, pixels can't be 2 colors so that slide made no sense.
On the positive side I would love to know what software to use to make presentations easy. Yea, I get the author made his own but in general, making animation is hard work. Worse, once I've made them, even if they didn't end up being good for explaining I put so much work into making them that I can't justify starting over for something that works better. So, anything that would make that process not be so much work would be amazingly helpful.
