Adam Savage interviews himself, a montage created by photographers of EG '07. Savage impersonated Richard Attenborough as imperious and probing questioner, in the left seat, and shifted to the right seat to answer the questions as himself.
Savage spoke positively about the innovation taking place in media and on the Internet. Saying we are standing on the shoulders of giants in science, he predicted a major expansion of innovation and interaction with audiences as open source is more firmly embraced - a trend long promoted in technology by O'Reilly Media founder and CEO Tim O'Reilly and in media through the Creative Commons organization founded by Stanford Law Professor Lawrence Lessig.
Savage notes he spend much of his life working on special effects, theater effects and in sculpture, witnessing people in past seeking to horde their knowledge rather than to share it. He sees that phenomenon shifting.
