funny and tasteful cinematic launch video
- very funny and relatable script
- good scroll stopper about Open AI rumor
- amazing font. maybe the best I've seen.
- beautiful tasteful cinematic shots
- fantastic acting. especially @jasonyuan. best acting of any video I've seen.
- music is fun. jazz was a good choice to make it feel cheeky
- great jason makes fun of himself
- I LOVE that they have credits.
but
- takes a while to say what the product is. still don't really know at the end and there's no CTA.
- feels like script could be condensed a little. same joke repeats or is drawn out quite a bit
this is as good as it gets for cinematic launch videos. its unique, fun, relatable, and very very well executed.
Jason's acting is incredible. if I had a best founder-actor award to give out, he'd receive it. best I've ever seen from any founder maybe ever?
I think this video is fantastic for a "we exist" launch meant to communicate the broad mission rather than convert users or investors.
most importantly, this particular video communicates something Jason is known for: having taste. crucial for new hires and building momentum for an actual launch.
this style video won't go viral, but I don't think that's the intention. there isn't even a waitlist link on the X page. the company is very sprezzatura and its working.
