David Post = Next Island founder, owner, CEO, investor, speaker at this demo
Katlean de Monchy = launch expert, TV personality, investor, Next Island marketing, David's wife
Meg Stivison = Next Island's Social Media Director, person behind female avatar on screen and narrator
I have to agree that it doesn't matter who they were presenting this to, I really wish they would have organized it better and spent some time on the other professions, as well as demonstrated and talked more about other aspects of the game, rather than focusing on a failed crafting experience with the character standing on the deck the whole time mentioning things like social activities, flirting, clubbing, fashion ... it started to sound like a SL commercial.
Also, the total silence while video footage of Ancient Greece was showing was not good either, not to mention that all people saw were buildings and landscape. I think it would have been important to bring in perhaps a mob or two and shown some interactiveness, as well as give more narrative during the video.
I have always wished David well with Next Island, and I'm really sick for him that things have gone as they have. I sincerely hope that things can be turned around. If this video is any indication of what's going to be shared on CNN and Good Morning America, then I just don't know what to say. If staff is inexperienced with in-game play, then they need to find someone who can help them out with it.
I'd also like to know whatever happened to Erik Reynolds ... the other part of the marketing team with Katlean.
