Behind the Boagworld

Published on: February 28, 2008 by Paul Boag

As promised here is the video we shot a couple of weeks ago talking about the making of boagworld.

A special apology to Mr Hicks for the poor way this video introduces the new Headscape logo to the world. I am sure we should have done some big professional launch instead but we are just not that organised.

Nice "making of" video!

Can I see the new headscape branding in that video? is the 8 shape thing your new logo?

nice video :)

@Dave, yes it is. We should have done a proper launch but I am too lazy. You will see a new headscape website not long after SXSW.

Talk about product placement. Apple, Coke, iPhone and Christianity. Just need McD and you will make a fortune on advertising.

Whose that guy with the beard? I'm sure I saw him on the telly recently. Number one wasn't he?

Great video. Great podcast.

It was even more fun the podcast. Looking forward to second part.

The next "making of" video clearly needs to have a lot more of your guest stars and a lot less of the usual two bozos *smile*

I've been listening to Boagworld every day since i discovered it e few weeks back. Keeps me up to date out here in the colonies (Australia) and entertains, FAB! It was a bit wierd to put faces to the voices though. Have you thought about stand in models for the next video? :-) Nice T-Shirt Paul, goes with your goos guy image. Maybe you could get a good cop / bad cop thing going. Marcus could be the bad cop with (Soft) Rock & Roll image and all. Great work, Cheers!

Nice vid guys..keep up the good work, it's a cracking podcast!

I'm also a strong believer that you should keep the music.. it's like a pair of old slippers at this stage, part of the furniture!

Regards,

Isn't there going to be a full episode?

"Looking forward to second part"(lewro)

Did I miss something?

Sorry about my last comment, nothing legible there. Is there going to be a full video episode 111 is what I intended to ask.

But then I didn't listen to the following epidodes yet, maybe you talked about it there and my asking is useless altogether, oh well...

Anyway it's a great show overall and this vid was still fun to watch.

By the way, "(you may use HTML tags for style)", never thought I'd see such a statement on this site.

Video makes this podcast better yet! You guys are doing great! :)

One question, is it possible to download this video?

Thanks,
Peter

I haven't seen a picture of either of you in a while, but how long has that beard been taking over your face Paul? ;)
