^^ They (a) take their time and produce something that has a (b) script. This compares favorably to any number of YouTube talking heads, because it uses a relatively small amount of post-production. The voice-over guy sounds pro; notice the difference and the added comedy value. This is a case of "good production values", not "follow the money".
How much money does it really take? And couldn't this be considered "volunteering" if you did it voluntarily, not-for-profit? I suspect if there's much cash involved, it's probably provided by people from a freethought/secular humanist organization, donations hard at work. Capable software has been provided *free-as-in-beer* - Blender, Inkscape, and the GIMP, to name three. I'm not saying that's what this video used - but you could use them, without incurring license fees, and get similar results.
Kudos! Great video count-down for 2009, the year we kicked theism in the 'nads.
Lol "reductio ad hitlerum"...Godwin's law FTW
ReplyDeleteA very well produced video.
ReplyDeleteWhere do these guys get the money for such professional productions - or are they just that good to do it on the cheap?
