In “An Inconvenient Truth,” director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with former Vice President Al Gore’s personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way using Keynote. The film is not a story of despair, but rather a rallying cry. “When we were trying to figure out how to best film Al’s presentation,” coproducer Lesley Chilcott recalls, “we looked at a variety of options when designing multiple screens for him. Once we started investigating Keynote and its capabilities, we realized that it was best to actually film the presentation using Keynote on multiple screens. “It’s just a phenomenal program,” Chilcott adds. “Al keeps what he calls a genome of all his master slides — whether they are charts or graphs or images or QuickTime clips — in Keynote, so he can tailor his presentation to different audiences.” Read more about the making of the feature film documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” and watch the movie trailer.
