      Thanks for this. I’m interested in those upcoming ones you mentioned, nav bar, etc. Any idea when those will be published?

    • Jessi Hance says:

      Dang, those are some awesome angled zoom effects! How do you zoom in and out of the screen at an angle, while showing a moving cursor? Do you use Screenflow, or some other software? I’d really like to create screencasts with that effect.

      • Josh says:

        Indeed Jesse, Screenflow is the golden arrow in my quiver. It allows me to capture screen video and then pull off all those dynamic moves with very little effort. Thanks for watchin’!

        • Jessi Hance says:

          Thanks, Josh! I’m gonna see if my employer will spring for a copy. But regardless of the arrows, golden or not, it is the guy shooting the bow who hits the mark or not. You hit the bullseye!

      Hey Josh,
      Thanks for the video. Honestly, your site and products are so well designed, I have to know where I can find a similar designer of this caliber. Is this in-house? Do you have a team? Outsourced? Any help would be mucho appreciated, thanks!

        Thanks Simon! We do create everything in-house here at the Chimp. We have a team of really great people and collaborate regularly to get to the results you see on the site and in the app. You may want to check out http://www.krop.com or http://www.coroflot.com for some good leads on available individual designers. But if a team is what you are looking for I suggest you continue doing what you’ve just done, which is ask around. References are certainly a tried and true way to find good design professionals. Good luck!

      Dude, JOSH!
      In those videos when you see the screen kinda Skewed a bit,
      is that Screenflow too? or AfterEffects? or are you combinding them together?

      Amazing! I love the look of it!
