Cory, honestly, who is deciding what still frame to include in these emails? Not flattering. Is it an inside joke? Seems that every Daily Byte email that comes in has you in an awkward “freeze frame” moment.
Just saying. As your agent I think you should insist on more consideration when it comes to these sort of image related things.

heh.. I guess I’ve lost all my self consciousness in that I don’t even notice. I’ve had to edit myself over the years, and if you ever have paused video of yourself and seen all that awkward micro-expressions that pass over your face, you start by being embarrassed (like hearing your own voice on an answering machine), but ultimately getting used to it.
Seriously, though, I do have enough YouTube status that I can actual manually upload and pick a still for every video I do… I’m just too lazy (actually too busy with other work), to spend much time doing so. However, we now have an internal motion graphics person, so look forward to my videos becoming a bit more polished… Maybe then I’ll post a more deliberate image as the still! ^_^
