10-15 second Ron-On commercials!

[emk]

At least have something that says "REPUBLICAN FOR PRESIDENT"

 

[kmj.ronpaul]

I'm the OP who originally requested the 10- and 15-second ads.

Here's what I said in my other thread:

"My ideal 10- or 15-sec spot (which probably doesn't exist!) would have the short slogan suggested by some here on RPF: (I don't know what the background would be, maybe footage of Dr. Paul.) The narration would just say: "End the war. Vote for Ron Paul. Stop our economic crisis. Vote for Ron Paul. Restore America. Vote for Ron Paul." (A 15-second spot would probably have time for one more phrase in there, e.g. "Restore our individual freedoms. Vote for Ron Paul." I would place that phrase 3rd in this list.)

I would think that if people heard this message repeated enough, they would have a very good idea of Dr. Paul's basic platform, and this might be an effective way to spread the message."

So, I do appreciate your work, coffeewithchess, but I have to agree with those who say that the picture is too cartoonish, and the message doesn't convey any useful info.

Instead, like I suggested above, I would

a) use at least one, and maybe more, "presidential"-looking photos of Dr. Paul (e.g. see the thread "What's your favorite Ron Paul picture?":
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=38574&highlight=favorite ) or, even better, some video footage of Dr. Paul.

and b) use a few short but *informative* phrases, as above. We want to *inform* people about Dr. Paul's positions in a short amount of time.

... and, I think it's unnecessary to include the "I'm Ron Paul and I approve this message" clip at the end... it takes up time, it's untrue (and, probably, we won't have a chance for him to approve it, anyway), and it doesn't add any new info to our message.

Thanks for the critiques...I just threw the ads together in about an hour this afternoon after first reading the OP about wanting a 10-15 second RP ad...I'll be working on improvements...also, the only reason I added RP at the end saying "I'm RP and I approve this message" was so that I could see about how long it would be for a LEGAL disclosure that I think has to be in all political ads.

I thought it was going to say "apply directly to your forehead."

thats only for ads Ron Paul has approved for the National campaign.

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.

Um, the voice is Computer generated. Sounds like the new voice in Leopard.

It is computer generated, but not Leopard. Does anybody know a good AUDIO software kit to download or buy?

These aren't running anywhere...somebody was looking for short commercials so I threw these together and if you look at the OP, I said RP didn't approve them, I only added his audio to it so that I could have an idea of how long a legal approval would be in the commercial.

bump, updated videos
