I have put together a political music video which parodies 2 songs from Pink Floyd's "The Wall". It is very hard hitting, and intentionally disturbing.
A very short taste or preview is available here:

What I need is some like minded freepers to preview the entire video which I will upload later tonight for private viewing.
If you would like to help, I will need you to PM me here with your youtube user id, and either send a youtube friend request, or accept my invite I send to you later.
The full video is complete, but what I need is critique... identify problems/changes needed, what can be done better, or worded differently to maximize the impact and clarity of the message and to minimize confusion.
Thanks
So far - I’m loving it!
So far: So good. “Goodbye Blue Skies” was created to capture not only “What happened” but “What can easily happen again” . Your video seems to be locked into “What happened” .. Try demonstrating “What’s next” in the video.
A proper WWII documentary, even, will convey the idea that not “did this” happen, but “It can easily happen again.”
The Chris Matthews quote at the beginning seems a bit abrupt. I think it would start better when the eagle begins to fly.
The transition from video to animated eagle is pretty smooth, not jarring to me at all.
The AF1 - NBC logo is freakin’ awesome. Can’t wait to see the end product.
>>>Goodbye Blue Skies was created to capture not only What happened but What can easily happen again .
Thank you for that insight.
I can assure you that the full video does mirror that theme.
Sounds like your familiar with original video.
I hope you will consider helping me with this.
If you’re actually using those songs, be prepared for a copyright take-down.
Thanks!... please sign up with a FR PM and youtube friend request.
I also created “Obama plays Joker Poker with your Health Care” earlier this year.
If you havn’t seen it, it may give you a better idea about the overall quality of this new one.

Since it’s a parody, it should be legal.
However, you are right, and yes I’m anticipating that.
Hopefully, if it goes viral quick enough, it won’t matter.
There’s always email and other services like youtube.
>>> The Chris Matthews quote at the beginning seems a bit abrupt.
yeah... this clip comes out right about the middle of the video. I’ve got ole leg chiller calling for nationalization of the industry before he gets to that point.
Fantastic work! I can’t wait to see the rest of your new video.
Thanks!... pm me with youtube username, and you’ll be one of the first. I need critique on the full video before I cut and publish the final version.
