Hollywood CGI
However, we’ve got a bit of Hollywood style thanks to animations & transitions from the incredibly talented Chris Kelley… you MUST check out Chris’s website and contact him if you’re ever in any need of some truly awesome animation work.
Andrew (Rummbles Founder) apologises for sounding like a depressive on camera – hangover is his excuse. We’re going to inject him with expresso next time.
The next episode of Rummble.tv will premiere on Friday, September 11th and we want to include your experiences…

Access to the BizSpark Network Partner Directory that’s full of entrepreneurial experts, whom are willing to give advice/mentor young start-ups through the many obstacles they may face.
After some encouragement from our friend Bindi, Rummble couldn’t resist the opportunity to join such an invaluable program. We’re really excited about the service and would suggest it to any new start-ups out there that are looking for some guidance or support and cool software perks you won’t find anywhere else!

My name is Damir…It’s a bit too late to say hello, but…Hello! I am a mobile developer and joined Rummble in June to make it truly mobile and available on all handheld devices (except calculators of course!).
A bit about myself… I’ve been working as a mobile software engineer for about 5 years and was working on several exciting projects such as mobile video streaming applications, instant messaging, push email, social networking and content sharing applications mostly for Symbian and Windows Mobile smartphones.
Hopefully my experience will be useful to Rummble and I will have a chance to develop new exciting apps for mobiles.
