Default Company video for promoting your apps?

Hey guys, as I stated in the subject above, do you think a funny corporate video and its distributing on social networks can influence your app sales? Have you ever tried to make a video about your company?

Well, here is what we made, don't be too hard on us) Would love to know your opinion.

Link works fine now - I think the video will help you recruit if you ever need to - god, I would love to be working with a team. That would be cool. Will it help you make sales? I can you tell you this - after seeing your team, it made me wonder more about your app. Once I saw your app - I loved it. I wish I had an iPad2 instead of an iPad. I kid you not, it will be the first app I buy for the iPad3 when I get it. Star Walk looks amazing for the iPad. I will be downloading the iPhone version here in a bit.

Back on your video, to be honest I didn't watch it all. I guess I get too distracted to sit through a long video. Still, I did fast forward to the end to see how it turned out and then checked out your app and I'm now buying it. So I guess it can't hurt!

Hey, thanks for your detailed comment. Haha, well, if you code or play musical instruments, we'll consider your candidacy
Honestly, I do hope that this video will effect others like it did with you) Probably next time we'll make it shorter, 5 minutes video is way too long. iPad 3.. Ah, waiting for it so much. Even more than for iPhone 4S/iPhone 5

Default video

Typically, the best "download this" videos are very similar in structure to infomercials: state problem, show solution, upsell with a sense of urgency, etc.

I'm looking to create a studio that helps app developers create low cost and impactful videos. I'm happy to work on something for you guys at cost, if you like the product and cam help me market my services.

Which one of your apps has the most traction and is in need of a video?
