#12Nicely done. The tone seems just right for this kind of service: a combination of celebration and reverence.
Thanks, we spent a lot of time working on getting the tone right. There are multiple elements - voice over, music, color, illustration, script - so the trickiest part was bringing them all together in a way that felt genuine and honest.
Did you do the production in-house, or hire someone? Definitely well done, and a good tone.

#13Best product video I've seen, short and sweet yet tells exactly what you do in a very life is celebratory way (the humor with the newspaper bit is brilliant).
Is the voice over a founder, and can you share more about behind the scenes?

We started by writing (and re-writing) the script in-house. Then we hired a very talented friend in Portland to do the illustration and he recommended we hire a local animation house that he liked and had worked with previously. The voice over was chosen after auditioning/recording 5 of our friends and my brother composed the sound design. It was a very collaborative process with a great group of people. We built slowly, allowing for feedback and brainstorming at each phase of the process. It really helps to work with people you like and whose tastes you trust.

#16Man, just looking at that site makes me think. I'm not scared of dying; I'm scared of other people dying.

Yes, the title just didn't have the same ring to it

#18That was really, really good. I hope you guys run this on TV at some point (in some shortened fashion - there are 60 second slots, though)
