Xtranormal Follow-up

So a few weeks ago I was excited to try out some new software. I'm still very jazzed for this capability, but it is tempered a bit. I was definitely under the impression that if you are doing real government work that this Software as a Service (SaaS) would be free. It looks like I was wrong about that. No, government people get charged the exact same amount as everyone else. It works out to be:

1,200xp -$10

5,000xp - $25

15,000xp - $50

40,000xp - $100

80,000xp - $150

The only difference between a government user and a regular user seems to be the terms of service, but it isn't that different, hence my enthusiasm is contained.

You spend the points on the characters, the sets and rendering the presentation, and that is each time you render it, so if you need to do re-work, then there is a cost to that. Each movie I would estimate to be between 350 and 550 points. So it isn't a dump truck of money, but if you are trying to do something innovative where there is no budget it becomes difficult. Anyway, my initial goal was to prove my concept. I wanted to take a snippet of content that I had already created and rendered using my Camtasia method and repackage it with Xtranormal. I definitely proved that there is value here. I picked something short and sweet.

Go to the second Case Study (11:57) in Module 4. Now compare that against this one from Xtranormal. It is the exact same content, just delivered in a different way. I am certain that if we used the Camtasia method to develop most of the training or instruction and then came to Xtranormal for thinks like case studies and break-outs it would be a much stronger product overall. Anyway, I hope to work a deal in which I can really get in and develop some cool stuff.
