A couple of notes / thoughts:
1) The animations seem slow. I found it distracting as I watched them meander into / out of frame or focus. Can they be sped up some? Especially anything dealing with text...it was painfully slow to watch.
2) Your wife has a gorgeous voice and does a great job! There are a few instances where I detected awkward pausing (perhaps cutting audio to sync / match with the animation?), but for the price it couldn't have been beaten!
3) Be mindful of English. The statement "Not just for big corporates" sounds odd.
4) Include more screenshots of your application. When talking about being able to use it on any device you should overlay images of your application from those devices onto the outlined images of the various devices. Give us a look at how your app appears on mobile / tablet / desktop.
5) Parts of the template don't seem to mesh with what the voiceover is talking about. Prime example: talking about linking to payroll systems (starting around 1m35s). The image is a lightbulb. Doesn't make sense. Perhaps that's just the limitation of the template.
6) Overall time is quite lengthy. We live in bite sized chunks of time and sitting through a 3m video is difficult. See if you can chop it down to just the basics. Give us a taste of your app and then direct us to your site to dig in for more details.
Great job though considering the budget!
- cyberferret 11y agoThank so much for your feedback. Excellent tips for the next video we try. Much appreciated.
- timroy 11y ago1. The overall pace of the video - animations and narration - seems pretty slow. People today are used to very fast video editing. 2. You don't start to say what the product actually does until 31 seconds in ("filing cabinet in the cloud"), with further details coming about 45 seconds in, and then the rest of the video to explain yet further features. 3. There are a lot of features, which is very cool - but naturally that does make your one-sentence punch line hard to craft. Example: "HR Partner serves as your digital filing cabinet to effortlessly organize all your employee information, lets your employees keep up-to-date on office memos, and integrates payroll information." That's not that great a sentence, but some soundbite upfront would tell us that more features are coming over the course of the video. 4. Ditto on numbers 5 and 6 above. The "h with an h" caught my ear as well, as I'm US rather than Australian. Thanks for posting this, and how you did it - we've thought about making a cost-effective video as well so this is really helpful. I'm surprised at how good this looks and sounds (unfair advantage with in-house talent!).
- cyberferret 11y agoThank you. Useful tips again here, especially about shortening the message and saying what the product does as early as possible. Much appreciated.
