QuickTime installation tips for new users: When you download QuickTime, you're actually downloading an installer program that you need to run on your computer. The file you download (the installer) is called QuickTimeInstaller.exe in Windows and "QuickTime Installer" on a Mac. If you don't see this file after you've downloaded it, you can find it with the "Find: Files or Folders" command in the Start menu on a Windows machine or the "Find..." command in the File menu on a Mac. Run the installer program on your machine and you'll be prompted through the installation process for QuickTime. Then get ready to see Oliver in full motion and sound!

You can Stay but the Noise has to go: What the Critics are saying:
By Neal Cassidy, New Media Instructor - American School London:
A star is born! Oliver van Druten, the diminutive lead of "You Can Stay, But That Noise Has To Go," is one of the freshest new faces to hit the computer screen this year. In this brief but completely realized mini-drama, he not only acts up a storm, but plays all his own drum parts. The Kino-Eye is completely captured -- might I even say enraptured -- by his insouciant posing and devilish good looks.

The consistently innovative camerawork by director Kirk van Druten (Oliver's Dad) tantalizes the viewer with glimpses of Oliver through the drum kit, even through a drum head, underscoring his complete mastery of the instrument. The video is cut to a throbbing soundtrack which steadily builds the tension, culminating in a final powerful freeze-frame of the young maestro. If you see one video this year, be sure to make this it!

Taming the Olliebeast Part 1: What the Critics are saying:
I found "Taming the Olliebeast: Part One" to be a profound and insightful study of this rare, endangered species. "Taming" convincingly refutes the contention by some (Mailer, 96) that the Olliebeast could no longer be found living in the wild. And the footage clearly shows that Olliebeasts are more than capable scaling animals,. "Taming" will hopefully mark the rebirth of Olliebeast Studies. For now we can only wait for part two, to see what new insights we may learn from this graceful creature.

As an audio professional I find the "taming the Ollie beast" series to be very educational and fascinating. I look forward to "Sounds of the Ollie beast" installment of the series coming soon.
