/24-7PressRelease/ - POWELL RIVER, BC, CANADA, April 18, 2007 - Whoever said that a little humor and a bit of tongue in cheek can't sell software didn't know about the power of animation and Selkie. This shown in Tugboat Enterprises' new animation "The Mystery of Selkie".
The animation highlights the award winning data recovery software Selkie Rescue www.SelkieRescue.com by using the classic private eye genre of the 1950's complete with Fedora hat, trench coat and a 1957 Chevrolet.
"It might at first blush seem counter intuitive that an animation in blue shadow tones, using a classic 1950's genre is the wrong medium to sell a state of the art data rescue program like Selkie," said Board Chairman Gordon Wilson, "but with such high competition for consumer traffic online we wanted something to catch the viewer's attention and this medium works, and works well."
The animation was scripted in house at Tugboat Enterprises and drawn by the talented people at LaughNetwork www.laughnework.com. The individual who lost his files due to a Window's crash is called Mike Rusoft.
"Selkie is an excellent companion for Mike Rusoft and Microsoft Windows users," Commented CEO Judi Tyabji Wilson with a smile. "Our message is clear; anybody who is using Windows should have a copy of Selkie Rescue in their desk drawer."
Award-winning software start up Tugboat Enterprises, named as a "Tech company to watch in 2007", is focusing on expanding its award-winning Selkie Rescue software into a security suite with data recovery capabilities.
