Wufoo's First Promotional Video

wufoo.com

This is the best promo/explanation video for a web app I've ever seen.

Awesome...any idea how much a video like this costs?

That was beautiful in so many ways. When I saw "promo video" I was actually expecting a lifestyle commercial with 20-somethings using Wufoo on their iPads in a park. With indie rock playing as the soundtrack.

Thanks for stealing my idea.

Jerk.

Amazing promo video, can you guys go into a little more detail about the process you used to create it? Did you handle all the coordination between the artist, sound team, and animators?

We actually documented the process as we were creating it and we're hoping to put up a blog post in the future showing off the behind the scenes creation of it, because we know a lot of people would be interested. So, yeah, look out for it.

A little bit looongish, but otherwise very useful. Provides for a simple explanation of what the wufoo service is all about to a broad audience. Quite possibly, a high school cheerleader COULD understand it.

A fantastic promo that leaves me wishing I had more excuses to use Wufoo.

The part about turning feedback cycles into feedback loops doesn't really say anything, same with the part about turning dissonance into resonance. The rest of the video is amazing though.

This video is so good that even though I hadn't previously thought I needed a form on my web site, I realized that I will in the near future and immediately signed up for Wufoo.

"And you can accomplish in a few short minutes what it takes a dedicated programming team weeks to put into beta"

Ouch man that hurt.

But seriously Wufoo is looking much more impressive than the last time I saw it. Had no idea you guys could process payments. Before watching that video I would only recommend Wufoo to friends if they had very simple form needs, nice to know that you can do much more.

Wow! Is there anything these people do that isn't excellent?

$100,000,000? 40 languages? Multiple industries?

Have you guys considered taking on serious investment and getting really big? Perhaps you should.

I for one would not be opposed :)

I'd love to know the logic behind using the "ears" metaphor. Is the assumption that their users don't completely get why a web form is needed or useful? Seems like a stretch that made my brain stop trying to understand the metaphor.

Wow, very entertaining promotional video. I wasn't expecting to enjoy sitting through a promo video, but this was very nice. Good job!

Awesome video guys
