Toolbox Progress
Things have been a little slow on the development front for the last couple of weeks. I’ve been pretty busy working on the next revision of the Supergroup application for Condition30, and also on a project for MarbleMedia. Both of which are a bit behind on tight deadlines.
The time I have had has been spent working on a the flash-based Ad Creator, and also on a submission for the TechCrunch50 conference. I decided at the last minute that I really should pull together a video for submission, and I was determined to film it in the park with kids playing in the background, but the weather lately has been nothing but thunderstorms. I finally managed to film it Wednesday night, one kid (Thanks Mitchell) obligingly skated round the wading pool while I filmed. I have a much greater respect for actors now, since discovering how hard it was to make it though my lines. Even then, once I edited, I found my best takes were interrupted by thunder in the background.
Ah well, the end product (I thought) was good enough. A bit more amateurish than I’d like, and the camera does add 100 pounds (right?!?), but I think it’s a decent enough elevator pitch. Wish me luck.
