We've been working on an outline of what we want for the launch video. I agree we should get that going soon. I'll work with the Council to get that finalized and published.
I really like that first video, and think that's kind of the direction we're going. We've tried the all-white background and it's more difficult and less personal. Also, Novacut has mentioned working with us on the video! They said they can help us get a small instance (10 collaborators) set up, so we'll be looking at that.
