I just threw these together...RP did not officially approve these, but I did it with him in it so I could see how much the audio would add to the videos...any advice is appreciated also.

the image you use is more comic book than political campaign
more joke than serious
think sleek, professional, accomplished, smart, intelligent, issues

a cut-out image of a guy bringing the constitution back to life with
a refibulator is more of a political cartoon joke.

just a critique, i respect the fact that you are working on something
and actually made it. it has a lot of potential.

Thanks for the critique...if you can/will, find a picture that goes better, I will update it, I was actually working on a picture and adding, www.RonPaul2008.com, but it didn't look right.
 
I like the sound of the voice..it is a great voice. But the ad does not say much. I do not know if there is a way to drum up emotions in a 15 sec ad...but my idea (just now) is this. Show a picture of a GI holding a murdered child in Iraq, a shot of Arlington, and then that cartoon pic of RP holding that baby with liberty In big letters on it. Then someone saying something like NONE of these Children should die. Then a real pic of RP that says vote RP for Pres 08 and the website.
That might do it.

Nothing about the war or issues...just RP...and trying to get name recognition, we need name recognition.

Well..I disagree, I guess, then. Mostly because no one gets to see him on TV, and tho the name may sound familiar, it needs to associate with something to be effective (to me). If an ad does not somehow grab emotion, it does nothing, really. I think my spur of the moment idea was really a good one. The 2 first pics would cause emotion and grab attention. When showing the RP and baby liberty you could say his name with the quote..RP will let none of these children die (or whatever) Then RP again when the pic shows saying I am RP and I approve etc., with the big RP for Pres sign so it shws in writing too..imo

Maybe a picture of how much the national debt is...
 
I wrote a script a while back about this, required some animation and live actors. but it was more directed at youtubers that are tired of the Ron Paul spam, I'll try to look it up and post here.
 
Ok Here it is,

This is not meant as a national AD, just a humorous way to ease some tension on youtube.

Ron Paul Head-on Parody

Monotone announcer voice

FAST ZOOM IN: on spam email of Ron Paul

Ron Paul...

CARTOON ANIMATION OF EXPOSED SIDE OF HEAD

(A cartoon animation of a roll on stick that says RON PAUL and a side exposed view of the brain with 3 big gray areas that have the word apathy on them, and 3 small areas in red white and blue saying HOPE LIBERTY FREEDOM, as the applicator erases the apathy progressively through the ad the 3 other words become bigger until apathy is only a single small section.)

Apply directly to the brain.

FAST ZOOM IN: Spam post on forum

STILL SHOT: The last screen breaks in half to reveal a angry woman with frizzed out hair & another person in the background walking up to her.

Angry woman

(Note that the first shot of this woman needs to be a hard right comedy shot to break up the rhythm, have her do a very weird scream, almost a cross between a woman in labor and a blender.)

Arrrgggggguuuuuuuhhhhhh, I hate Ron Paul and his annoying ad's and spam!


Man behind her

(Note if we find a good roto artist we could have Ron Paul himself composited in the scene.)

Yes I understand, but did you ever take the time to look him up? He wants to make America the great respected nation again, not through fear of force. but by going back to the foundation of this nation the constitution.


AT this point I had a writers block so the ending is open to whoever wants to finish it.
 
We are talking a 10 sec ad here--coffee..why do you not like my idea? I think it could really DO it in 10-15 sec because RP is the only one against the war. They may look at other stuff if they see that..
 
i think it's gay, sorry... the pic is gay... the concept is gay... and i hate those head on asswipes for spamming my TV so i would hate RP for running this ad too if he did....

just my 2c
