New Product and Howto Videos
July 22nd, 2010 by Dan Ostlund
We've posted new videos on our Fog Creek video page.
Earlier this summer we decided to experiment with some new ways of getting out information about FogBugz and Kiln, and since we had the talented Lerone Wilson already doing some video work for us, making product videos was an easy choice.
A lot of the product videos were–what shall we say?–a little on the boring side. We wanted to make something a little better than you usually see and avoid all the usual mistakes, like having your bored product manager mumble his lines through his nose.
We ran through our actor options here, but most of us sounded like Keanu Reeves, only dead.
Since we're in New York we put out a call for actors and got dozens of submissions from some really talented people, and found a guy we liked. Only later did we discover that he's a veteran of the Onion News Network. (NSFW – Swearing). He was a lot of fun to work with.
That's it really. A few days of filming and we had video covering all of the major parts of FogBugz and our new product Kiln. We had a half day of time left that we had paid for so we added some "Howto" videos describing common tasks in FogBugz.
We hope these are useful! We'd love to hear what you think, and if there are other topics you would like us to cover, let us know.
