We shot this ad in a completely different environment than the rest of the series. I was worried about the sound the whole time (we’re in a noisier place now), but it turned out to be not much of an issue.
The guys at Rails Envy just released this ad last weekend, so I guess it’s about time that I post it here as well. This ad in particular deviates from the “Get a Mac” formula more than any other of the nine ads we shot. It’s also been getting some of the best responses we’ve seen yet. Huzzah for that.
So here you go; part seven of nine in the series: Ruby on Rails vs. Django
Over the weekend we posted our 20th episode over at SOLMI.net. It’s part one of our (probably six-part) series we shot on our way to Boston this past January. The show is about seven minutes long.
Originally this episode was at about 35 minutes, but people don’t really want to see 30+ minutes of your van breaking down. Go figure.
Anyway, here’s Episode 1 of Adventure! Boston.
Today I’m putting up the new site in place of the old one. I suppose that’s a bit of an understatement, since the “old one” was basically a one page link to my email address. Hopefully you find this new site a bit more useful. Or informative. Or entertaining. Or all of those things.
The Rails Envy guys are also premiering the new Get a Mac parody ads we put together recently. You can digg the ads, if you’d like, or just give us your feedback on YouTube. We really wanted to answer some of the criticism brought on by the first round of ads. Or maybe we just wanted to try and piss a few more people off. I guess that’s up for you to decide.
Anyway, have a poke around. Hopefully you find everything is in order. I’ll be updating this space with every video project I work on from here on in, so keep an eye out for all that goodness. Below you’ll find the first of the new Rails Envy Ads. It’s about the .NET framework, where we made the assumption that all .NET programmers are probably closet alcoholics. Enjoy.
