Johnny Depp and Amber Heard - the gladiators of our time

I must admit, I fell for Johnny Depp and his approach in the court.

With his cool style and his funny answers to the questions and how he smiles scornfully at stupid questions.

A cool guy I thought.

In the beginning. 

Then I started to think.

It would have been cool and funny if he would have been a guy in his 20s.

But he is not, he is over 50 and you could require a more grown-up behavior from him.

The court and the trial is a drama and he plays in it, and that is a really sad story.

Not one of them is acting dignified and makes them satisfactory as a winner.

Johnny Depp has made a career as an actor with his cool, hipness rockstar approach.

And that has been a winner. He has made a couple of memorable figures with his laid-back rockstar style. 

But they are all almost the same, the rockstar image figure.

And he has made a lot of money on those figures, I admit, I am jealous and impressed.

But it is in one way only a kid's rockstar dream.

I have had that, standing with my electric guitar in my boy's room, dreaming of fame and girls.

When I see him now he is still that boy, dreaming of being that rockstar, as it looks.

Isn't it a bit sad?

To be honest I don't remember any movie that Amber Heard has been in. Except  "The Danish Girl" and that was a memorable movie but not because of her, only because of the story. 

In court, she has not impressed me as an actor. 

Her crocodile tears aren't impressive.

Yes, I know, these well-chosen cuts that we see on the internet are not saying all.

But they show us a bit of her.

I don't know who is telling the truth and who is lying, and I don't think we will, but I am glad that my picture of the trial has changed. 

Amber Heard has not chosen lawyers with a smart attitude, they seem sometimes stupid and not so well loaded with facts and scrolls in all the papers they have in front of them. That gives no serious impression.

If Johnny Depp has done these to Amber Heard he is an asshole and should lose big. 

Has she lied for a chance to make some money on that story, is she a sad person with no self-respect and should lose.

None of them is going to be a winner anyway and both are losing, at least for many years and none of them are telling the entire truth. 

The strange thing is that we, the audience, have taken part and have decided who is the truth-teller and if we follow the media it seems to be Johnny.

I don't think it is so easy, you have to be two in a fight.

The future will tell, and in a couple of years will this drama be forgotten and another will be in the headlines. 

This has become the modern gladiator fights we love to follow.

We need more Greta

As the world looks now

A change has to be done

If we don't do it instantly

The earth will be gone

Now, rules war and pollution

To make a change

We need a solution

How and what 

can do the transition

They, who now rules?

No, we need someone with a mission

Who doesn't flow downstream 

like a dead fish

If I could have a magic wand

and get a wish

we need more people who

can swim upstream

with a possibility

to fulfill the dream

as it is now 

it will be the same

people who want to rule 

to be glorious and fame

is it the old

I don't think so

they make no difference

they have to go

we need the young, 

they are not always right

but they still have

the energy to fight

they haven't fully 

gone into politics

with all 

the dirty words and tricks

so what we need

is instant a

better world

with more Greta

Need to do a video presentation, these tools can help you

 

Have you sometimes wanted to do a video for instruction, education, information, or any other purpose but you haven't had anyone to be the speaker voice in the video. Are you a small company or a small organization without a large budget are these two online tools perhaps a solution for you.

They are an easy and intuitive solution for you to make your video and get a professional-looking presentation.

Both tools have several avatars to choose from and they can speak in many languages you can start with a template and rearrange it for your intent.

Synthesia has you perhaps seen at TikTok in several videos, presenting AI tools. 

I have tried them on an android tablet and it is not the ultimate way to use them, it is probably easier on a computer. It worked, but all functions are not so easy to manage so I will recommend that you use a laptop or any ordinary computer.

elai.io

I'll start with elai.io, it is a company based in the USA, the contact address seems to be at the same location as Harvard Business Services, Inc. but I can't find any more information about the company, so I leave it by that.

Elai has at the moment 15 avatars to choose from and around 60 languages. It has about 30  templates to start from and you can change and add elements like images, shapes, and of course fonts. You can also add music.

You can rearrange the elements, scale, change the opacity, move them back or in front etcetera. You can also make slides, like a PowerPoint presentation.

You can try it for free, it costs from $21 for a 15 minutes presentation a month and $62 for 50 minutes a month.

synthesia.io

Synthesia have you perhaps seen, as I wrote before, at TikTok in several presentations for many of the AI tools there are on the web.

Synthesia was founded in 2017 by a team of AI researchers and entrepreneurs from UCL, Stanford, TUM and Cambridge.

Synthesia has a bit more features than elai. 

It has more than 45 avatars to choose from, and you can also make a custom avatar from any person you like to have on the video (copyright has to be followed of course).

It has also about 30 premade templates to start from, with possibilities to add images, shapes and change background, and so on. 

You can also add music and record your voice clips and add.

You can also make slides, up to 6 per video, and add your PowerPoint presentation. It has also more than 60 languages to choose from.

You can also try this for free, it costs from $30 for 10 videos per month and if you need more there is a price discussion.

Conclusion 

If I should compare these two, does synthesia feel more "genuine" and have a better user interface and the avatar feels more human like, and that is why it is more expensive. If you are a smallorganizationn or company would probably elai be enough. I prefer synthesia, but you can get a okay result with elai.
