Paul Graham on Twitter: "I was curious why Boom's videos are so good. It turns out they're made by the company's head of design. That sort of early overqualification is one reason startups win. It's like having Robert Morris as your sysadmin."

  Not gonna lie but the video suck, the music is annoying and it's so 2010.

  Gonna have to agree with the other comments. Video was not good. Is this a dig at Robert Morris (I have no idea who that is)?

  Doesn't seem like we saw the same video, I found it aping and Hollywood westworld style intro to a T. There wasn't even a good cohesive structure and theme to it all. Mind you, I love Boom and can't wait for it to take flight.

  I don't know if "good" is the word I would use. Competently done would be about right. It's basically edited in time with the beat of the music. Oooh, aaaah They get points for not using the inspiring music like everyone else does though.

  Video made me dizzy. Switching scenes far too fast.

  And the best time to hire overqualified people is now, during an economic downturn.

  Boom is very "meh" to me. Boom is almost a literal copy of the X-59 and the ability to make videos isn't really an asset. Video promotion is a commodity and having the head of design make videos seems like a waste of $/hr given video production/edit costs compared to engineering

  The video was ok. The animations were super cool but the soundtrack started getting annoying after a while and the camera footage wasn‘t that great.. The content of the video got me excited though!
