I think we want a far more exciting "omg! come to camp!!!" video to have as the first video up there. I think that the letter to the met video serves a certain purpose, but it doesn't galvanise, and i think that it's important that the first video that people see up there gets them excited, and gets them to come back to the site for more and more updates.<br>
<br>maybe putting a little announcement on the site saying "watch us swoop here!" or something.<br><br>n<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/25 Jonathan Leighton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:j@jonathanleighton.com">j@jonathanleighton.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Let's speak plainly: We are talking about the letter video and that<br>
alone - unless there will be more videos going up before the swoop<br>
video?<br>
<br>
On this I am "neutral". I don't think the letter to the met is the best<br>
"come to the camp" material, but I don't think it's the worst either. I<br>
do fully support putting the swoop video up there as soon as it's ready.<br>
<br>
I'd like hear opinions from others who are not involved in producing the<br>
content (no offence Hamish).<br>
<br>
Totally willing to be persuaded either way.<br>
<br>
Jon<br>
