Foro: Turn Your Stuff into Cash!

This is the first live action demo video we’ve ever shot at Grumo Media.
And you can tell because how cheesy it came out 🙂
It was shot and edited all in one afternoon at Dan’s place.

The goal was to produce something quick to help Ali & Bio raise capital from investors and take Foro to the next level.
In the end it worked! they just recently raised $100K from a few local investors.. including us!
Yes, the video was so good it auto convinced Grumo to put money into this promising local startup.
Whether the investment pays off or not we thought it would be a great way to contribute to the local startup community.

But there is more! as part of the deal Foro will help us develop our very first iPhone app.
We are very excited to dab into a whole new industry for us with the help of such talented team.
Stay tuned for more news on our first app in the coming weeks. Woot!

Technical Details:
– Camera: Panasonic HVX200.
– Lighting: all natural.
– Props: stuff laying around Dan’s apartment.
– Directing, Voice over, Editing, and Effects: Grumo Migs
– Software: Adobe Premiere.
– Budget: $0 and 1 cookie.
