Ask HN: I made a 'how it works video', how is it?

[TomGullen]

I made a video showing 'how it works' after strong suggestion from the HN post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2924313

It's the first video I ever made, I'm pretty pleased with it!

Comments welcome! I know it could be a bit more polished but I think overall it works well and is better than no video.

So far the response has been great. People who knew I was working on this are suddenly far more interested, it seems to be the right medium to use.

I did a similar video not long ago, and my brother (who's a director) suggested I do a voice-over instead of comment bubbles.

I think it is good for the audience to hear a human voice, and hopefully you get to explain it a bit better.

Other than that, i think it's pretty good. I like the upbeat background music.

loved the video, hated the music. it was upbeat but a little annoying for me. overall, video was great though.
