Nicely done! Google should use it as a showcase app -- It's definitely the most 'grown-up' App-Engine-based site I've seen.
As an aside, how did you accomplish those great perspective transformations in your front-page screencast?
- gsaines 18y agoThanks for taking a look at it smoody. We were actually waiting for some of the new features to come online before we submitted ourselves to the App Engine showcase, but that's definitely happening soon now that everything is put together. To answer your question about the demo video, I used Adobe After Effects and 3D layer manipulations of video captured in Growler Guncam to create the video effects. We used Guncam, which is a pretty out of date capture program mostly intended for capturing in game footage, because it has the highest capture fps unlike camtasia and its ilk. The problem with Guncam is that it's really resource intensive at 24fps, so we were really restricted in how much of the screen we could capture. And just for total disclosure, I figured a lot of this out myself, but the web developer for fontstruct, who I contacted when building our demo video, was very helpful in guiding me to the right methods and I owe him one. He definitely deserves a shout out.
