Question

FME intro video - something flashier or with a non computer voice?

We are giving an internal presentation next week about FME (Server) and how we use it in the organisation. Audience are the BI SAP and Informatica teams.

Is there something sexier than the 2 min demo out there? e.g. https://www.safe.com/how-it-works/I'm afraid the monotone computer voice will put people to sleep.

Something like @daleatsafe's video of turning on the lights at the new Safe building.

That's actually not a computer voice ;) The sound may be processed/filtered though.

I'm voting for the video to be narrated by Don and Dale after two shots of espresso each, that should keep people engaged :-)

Of course, there's always the option of turning off the sound entirely and narrate it yourself, that would also enable you to choose your own music :-)

In Dutch language too as they are used to hearing me only speak Dutch. Nothing like a challenge.

2 shots of espresso... oh dear...

 

 


Fair point! We're planning to create another introductory video that is less "sales-y" and would be better suited for live presentations etc. Unfortunately we haven't done this yet, but I'll pass along your message to bump up the priority. For now... Okay this one is old and cheesy but it does use animation: https://youtu.be/i1CiBupGoF8 You might also find something in the Customer Stories playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFxZDg3GNCgv1YtA7NUdqT_kQDfeqCUbU We'll keep the community updated as we create new videos!

I found this one in the technology overview group of videos which is more lively: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q1JPJaxg9Q&list;=PLCE8A2EFCA8447752&index;=1

 

 

But apparently talking to some other collagues the lullaby music video is trendy - so we go with this one.

Thanks @tianawarner. Didn't know about the customer stories playlist.
