well the benefit of that is that the viewer doesnt't feel the "sales pitch" of whoever made the video
its like going to a car dealership and just looking around without the panting salesman screaming about incentives in your ear
a more laid back approach can draw viewers in rather than a pounding drum (metaphorically, not referring to the music) that makes people want to run away

i like the laid back approach

One of the things I realized early on in creating the video was that the music would be harsh. I chose a harsh song because I think their tactics are harsh.

After finishing the video, I watched it muted and noticed also that the video could very well be perceived as pro-terrorist. At that point, I had the idea of adding Murtha Focker and Cindy Sheehag. After all, if it's going to be perceived as a pro-hezbollah video, I wanted to make sure ALL the players were allowed on the field.

Thanks for all the comments. I think I'm succeeding in my goal as there are many different takes on it. I wish I had taken more video because I didn't want to use so many stock photos. Maybe next time.

By the way, it was nice seeing all the Freepers on the corner at the beginning of the march. You guys warm my heart every time I see you. I'm glad there was a bigger voice than my own taking on these nutcases. I can't believe I actually had an argument with a veteran who was carrying an upside down flag. Vietnam really soured him. Now he's marching in support of the very people who would kill him in an instant.
