…It’s Easter Sunday: Easter Eggs?

Brian The Wonder Yak

Above is Brian The Wonder Yak, an easter egg in Final Cut Pro.

Easter eggs are often associated with a scavenger hunt of sorts where children hunt for colored eggs and candy; but Easter eggs are also the hidden messages or features that designers hide in things like movies, music, computer programs and video games for grown-ups to hunt for. It’s a way of giving the creator some artistic expression, and users a chance to feel like they found some buried treasure. If you’re looking for an alternative to the holiday hunt, (or you just don’t like hard boiled eggs and candy), then check out the Easter Egg Archive, and go on a hunt of your own.
