Ryan and his team at Ryonet  have set a new standard. This is really well done. You should watch immediately.

As a fun video or film project I'll give it a half box of popcorn. As an advertisement, wait a minute, what were they selling?

I have had facebook posts about whats for dinner that moved me more. 

I am sorry but while im sure it was fun for them to screw off at the office all day for it, I wasn't impressed at all with it and if I didn't know about them I would have no idea what they where trying to sell or even what business they where in.

The guy is brilliant but the darn video made me dizzy. cool edgy marketing since he has created such a brand. he didnt have to say what they are selling.

I was impressed with the quality of the video and effects, especially for this industry.  It was an utter waste of time though.

He seems to be an impressive promoter and a marketing whiz. 

Who amongst us is not just a little bit envious we didn't do it?

I have been to several of the classes that he has put on and he is really impressive.  On another note he is very nice and down to earth to talk with.  If it was not for Ryonet I would not be where I am today....  I watched that darn Silkscreening 101 DVD 100 times!

I don't think that anyone here was casting aspersions on Ryonet's value to the industry, but merely critiquing a commercial with a target audience obviously different than many of those contributing to this thread.
The fact that it was apparently included in emails from Ryonet to Ryonet customers probably clarifies the otherwise  obscured message, and the somewhat druggy rave style probably also appeals to that same demographic.
I'm afraid that some of us just didn't get it, it may be merely that we are from a different generation, (we still had pthalates in the softer pacifiers we wore around our necks for dry mouth, lol).

No offense.

I am not......at all......envious of the video. 


Am I impressed with his company?  Yes.  But this one was a flop for me, and im younger, "hip", and live in the "edgy" style of printing/design and it just was a miss if I am being honest.

I didn't get a minute into it before stopping it. However, I have bought some stuff from them before, but they're 3000 miles away, so it's pretty rare. I think they do a good job, especially helping the newbs.

They do help the newbs, especially with the videos (I have watched a ton of them), but they get all that back with inflated pricing.

Nope, what are you complaining, it is on SALE too :)  I do not think that you can beat that price.

I can just beat that price $3. Only problem is its 8" instead of 6" bummer.

Now I scanned their site and see they sell Ulano QTX for almost $120 a gallon. Now I know how they afford such an expensive production commercial.

Nope, what are you complaining, it is on SALE too :)  I do not think that you can beat that price.

I agree there was nothing about what they were selling( especially nothing about M&R as they are a distributor) but they did accomplish one thing. Brand recognition. Just look at how many people are talking about it. Kind of like the old lady in Wendy's commercial about "Wheres the Beef". I think they accomplished exactly what they were shooting for.

They are selling silver confetti.

Rich...agreed they got people talking about it, however it is about 2:45 too long..in order to get a good viral video going it needs to stay under 1:20....I think they could have gotten the message through in a lot shorter of a time frame....I know normally I would not have watched it all, but I did because I wanted to be able to comment on it. 

I think they have a good thing going and they need to make sure they keep it moving....

I guess I get bored easy, didn't make it all the way thru the vid, like Rich said I know who Ryonet is now, but I knew that allready.

I just think it could have been different and accomplished more.  I think the overall concept was fun though.

I would have never watched that had I not seen this thread. 

Look at where the video took this thread though, from chat about the video to the over priced items they sell.  (not all but some). 

I think it could be a negative in the end actually for some, at least the educated ones.  I think they also have something going that could be really good for the industry but they need to get some of those prices in check.

About 30 seconds into it I was looking around my desk wondering what that funny smell was and by the time I hit the 3 minute mark, I was damn near pissed off that I had even wasted my time with the video.  Now I don't want to buy a damn thing from them, not that we do now, just a few items a year.  I'm not their demo so it really doesn't matter much, but that's my opinion.

The video got 5200 hits and 38 comments in 1 day. To me - it's quite impressive. I would almost bet that it was all done internally - also quite impressive. Someone here had to point out the 'rave' theme to me. It wasn't apparent to me because I've never been to one. They do look like fun though!

 All I can say is - they have raised the advertising bar in our industry exponentially by doing this.

 I know many of us on here are actually musicians who just do this to eat. It takes a lot of guts to put that out there.

the flash and pizzazz is there, it's just missing content.  They should have worked a little harder on that end of it.

Sorry. I should have been more specific. I did mean building the business not the video.

While cute I was reminded of the opening scene in one of the BLADE movies where the danced in a frenzy.....before the blood sprayed, lol.

They should have spent more money on their techno/rave song, that was wack!

I have a promo video in the works, made a barter deal with a local fim company, hope all goes well.
