I watched the Pecha Kucha titled Superior Skydiving by Lyn Langlais. She was overall a good presenter. She had good voice inflection and her pictures were actually interesting. She didn't use a lot of filler words like um, and she spoke clearly. You could tell she was truly passionate about her topic, and she did a great job explaining how skydiving has influenced her life. The only flaw to her presentation, was that she got lost and had to stop or backup a few times. If Lyn would have just ran through her presentation a few times beforehand, I think this problem would have been fixed.
I think the Pecha Kucha presentation style has the potential to be very effective. With power points it is very easy for the audience to get caught up in the text and not listen to the additional information, which usually has more substance than the text on the slide. With a Pecha Kucha, the audience has no choice but to listen to what the presenter says, and they get to enjoy some swag pictures. I'll still probably use a power point when I have to present in the future, but I like Pecha Kucha.
