Kickstarter's team page

[biot]

It's a shame that patriciomolina's comment [0] is dead. It was a good catch!

  "Nice! Did anyone notice the two guys portraying Plato and
   Aristotle in the famous paint "The School of Athens" made by
   Raphael? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_School_of_Athens "

See the two guys in the center of: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/Sanzio_01... and compare to the two standing guys towards the end.

That's great! I'm pretty sure there are some other impressions going on in there, but I can't place them yet.

[adhipg]

This has been talked about earlier:

A quick observation: the discussion thread forming here is very similar to the previous one.

[FredericJ]

Oh that's why they rarely fire employees, it's just too hard to update the team's page.

[smickie]

I took me a little while to realize but you can drag the video left and right. There's loads more people if you keep going. Which makes it even more impressive.

[jeffehobbs]

Look at those fucking hipsters. :)

Cool page!

[arrrg]

Do we call people who can dress hipsters now? That seems misguided.

[thedangler]

Jeff Hobbs from london ontario?

[smadam9]

Clickable faces & a bio on each, would have been awesome. Otherwise, really neat.

[MattSayar]

It seems I can always notice when people are doing things in reverse. It's like the uncanny valley for me, and it makes me uneasy for some reason.

[mistercow]

I feel the same way. The only one that didn't bother me at first was the one tossing the apple back and forth. I think the correctness of gravity in reverse was enough misdirection to distract me.

[deanpcmad]

This has already been on the front page when they launched the new team page a few months ago

[Morst]

Wow, nice usage of HTML5 video.

[PanMan]

Is it just me? I don't see any video? Only a scrollable big picture with people?

[AlexMuir]

I have to say I saw a very similar thing with people throwing cushions around on a graduate recruitment page in about 2008 - sure it was Flash, but the end result was the same.

[robmcm]

It's obviously a lot better now because I can view it on my iOS device. Oh wait...

[dexen]

Seems somebody has decided "7450px ought to be enough for anybody" (div#video_header)... what about dual T221s? ;-)

[mistercow]

>what about dual T221s

Anyone with that kind of hardware must be punished for their excess with ugly layouts.

[sp332]

What does the right side of the page look like when you get past the end?

[lanna]

I have 3 27" Cinema Displays

[colmvp]

I often see articles about a lack of women in tech, but in fact I see even far fewer African Americans and to some extent Latin Americans. This company is one example. Another example: http://pivotallabs.com/team/

> We're a team of 46 in NYC with offices in the Lower East Side. Half of us work on the product (designing and coding), and the other half work with the community. We love what we do, and who we do it with.

Judging from my previous experiences in the tech world, I would guess that the non-community aspects are mostly filled by the males on the picture

[davidradcliffe]

A right click will allow you to view controls and pause each piece. (in chrome at least)

I guess only two people were looking forward to getting their 'video' taken and came prepared: the guy with the Rubik's cube and the blonde girl with the flowers.

[prithee]

Not wholly true, for example game designer Luke Crane is in the assembly with a copy of his game book "Burning Wheel Gold" cracked open.

[untog]

The girl with flowers actually sort of looked as if she was taking direction, "OK, now smell them!"

[ryen]

I think it should automatically scroll slowly right and left since the loop is too quick right now (girl in front keeps standing up and down)

[dmackerman]

Hipstarter

[alpb]

These guys were moving within a HTML5 video. Why are not they moving anymoar or is it just me recalling it wrong?

[rediah]

What, not a single South Asian on the team! They must be actors hired only for this purpose. :)

[cphoover]

Let's play find the developer. Bet it's the guy 2 from the right.

[stickydink]

That newspaper must have something really good in it...
