sounds like you are 'it' :)

there are some other resources here:

I like the format of that video I posted that Mike made:

Can we keep with this kind of straight cut, static images (mostly) and
voice over (Happy to do the vo if you have a script - also happy to make
the script).

what we need is some moving images of booki in book sprint action...

how does all this sound?
