It's cut very similar to MTV Cribs, not sure what that says though...
Considering the title of the video series I believe that is the point.
Sure - but why doesn't TechCrunch invest in some polish?
would you really want a super-high production value video? that's not the feel of startups or silicon valley. it's all about being scrappy and working with what you have.
at least to me, increasing the production value would move into irony territory. i'm quite enjoying the video series as they are.
