If you knew how little I know about video production you and your husband would die laughing.
But, IMO, there is a place for a message that simply makes a person feel good about the country and what the candidate generally stands for--remember "Morning in America"?
I may be asking you folks for some pointers...
I agree, but connect that feeling with the candidate for ownership of the concept and it does the candidate good. Otherwise, you’re only doing the viewer good because it makes only us feel good. Associate that good feeling with only your candidate seemingly being able to deliver that feeling, and you get a Ronald Reagan type ad.
WalterSkinner, my first impression of this video was that I liked it. It is feel good and kind of a catchy tune. But after reading all the comments, I would have to say that I still like it. I guess I am weird or something. I’ll take “cheesey” over nitpicking comments from the nattering nabobs of negativisms any day.
The doers build, the critics tear down. Keep up the good work!
I guess, after reading through your last post once again, I mean feel good about the Country should either be a quick message to start, or a reason why Duncan does what he does, for a nice finishing statement. The later leaves you with that feeling.
To me, start with a question or two--things we are really upset about, and then show how Duncan has taken on these issues--never waivering--man of action type quick, easy to understand concepts, and finish with the "feel proud to be an American" ending.
