Good creative hiring is all about flexibility and relationships--this was the core of the message gleaned from Wednesday's long-anticipated Coroflot Creative Confab at the Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco. The panel discussion at the heart of the 160-attendee event was easily the most boisterous and impassioned of the Confab's four-city tour so far, with panelists Emily Delmont (Google Creative Lab), Steve Johnson (LinkedIn), Kate Gilman (24 Seven) and John Foster (IDEO) bouncing around opinions on networking, creative skill sets, and employee engagement with dizzying speed. Kudos to Coroflot's Carl Alviani, who's deft moderating provided just the right amount of provocation, synthesis, and encouragement to the panel.

Initially I was going to the Green Fest 2007 to topple getting b-roll footage for this socially driven design students thesis, but after learning that Chopra would attend I had to get this coverage. It really didn't go with anything so I made it's own stand alone piece by mapping the audio and using a tye-dyed expression in After Effects CS4. Raw audio so it could be heard. If you rate or comment this video, please do in respects of Chopra's words.
