I actually found this video very enjoyable. I love Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young so I *really* like the song style, however on first listening I found the words very jarring because of the incongruity between the jargon and the mellowness of the music. I found the video clever in expressing the ideas in the song in a way that helped me meld the lyrics and the music together in a way I couldn't do previously in my head, so now I like the song even more!

Re: Mission Statement
Turns out this video was made locally (for me) by a company in Fitchburg WI. Way cool.

Re: Mission Statement
So as we all know this is a CSN-Y style parody, but in Al's AMA he said that this is the CSN song that it most resembles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMbuJXQCIvo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Not sure if this has already been posted, but oh well.

Re: Mission Statement
It's basically a combination of "Carry On" by CSNY and "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" by CSN. Both songs are the first song on each band's first album.

Re: Mission Statement
The thing I like most about this video is how it showcased a different style of animation which we haven't yet seen in one of Al's videos. I appreciate the level of work that went into making this but for some reason, I couldn't really get into it until about the last verse of the song.

Re: Mission Statement
I think the video was the best one could do for a song as MS (it helped to understand stuff that otherwise sounded like "blah blah blah corporate nonsense blah"), but the song didn't give many opportunities for visual jokes, so the video had no chances to stand out.

Re: Mission Statement
f you read the FAQ on their website, they don't consider it "animated", because they film the drawing in real time and then edit it to the required speed. Of course, there are a few parts that I'd say qualify as animation (when they slide words around).Killingsworth wrote:The thing I like most about this video is how it showcased a different style of animation which we haven't yet seen in one of Al's videos.

Re: Mission Statement
Today TruScribe was front page news in the paper and featured on the local news too. Working with Al is apparently a big deal

Re: Mission Statement
Something's wrong with the website. I just see a list when I go there.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:
"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11
So awesome!
Al Team #325
