Constitution Day Moneybomb - Sept. 17th Promotion Ideas Thread

[orenbus]

Yeah, that was the original clip that inspired me to make a short video. It's a good quote and fits the theme well.

I was trying to fit that in to a short 20-30 second thing for people with short attention spans, but it just didn't flow right. I also wanted the "Will you lovers of liberty rise to the occasion?" part at the end as a call to action.

I was in a rush when looking for those clips so that's the best I could find that were Constitution related. And I wanted to use ones where he was speaking strong and emphatically. When he speaks like that people get excited. The whole announcement speech is good.



Oh yeah, I like that old Ron Paul Constitution Day one with clips from The Patriot and stuff. Fits with the guy in the avatar. I can't think of any movies or series that have parts about the Constitution... The Patriot and John Adams are good but have to do with Independence. But I guess it can be used as background footage.

I can PM you the links to the videos and time stamps I used if you guys end up wanting to use any of them.

Yea please! +Rep (You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Jackie Moon again.)

I like that video, but the one thing I'd change is putting the clutching of the Constitution and Bill of Rights bit at the end or very close to it. I think it's a very powerful statement and it's great to end it on a positive, energetic note leading into asking for donations.

Tyty, PM sent

The Facebook page is almost at 400 likes now thanks to Orenbus inviting his friends.

You can do the same thing too, it works like sending event invitations and it's a huge help.

Also goes without saying that if you haven't done that with the event you should do that too. Even if you don't know whether you can donate you can still join the event and invite your friends. It's the best way to get the word out, and collectively the people you invite might donate a lot of money... so you'd still be helping.

If anyone is willing to pay for a press release distribution service directly to the third party company on our behalf for something that is ready to go please PM me. We want to get the word out about the Moneybomb through the media to also reach out to older supporters that may not necessarily be connected to FB, Twitter, etc.

This would a good way to reach more people outside of Facebook and Twitter.

Speaking of Facebook, we just passed 400 going to the event and are at 395 likes on the page. You already know what to do so I don't even need to say it again.

Trying something new with that last one because Vine videos auto play in people's feed and catch more attention than regular images.

Tomorrow is the Labor Day Moneybomb, I heard they supposedly will have a ticker up? Should I chip in a little bit or wait?

Gotta go with the moneybomb date of Constitution day on the 17th of Sept. Give all you can, I'll do the same.

Thanks for the RT's and the endorsement.

I don't want to sound biased and don't want to tell people what they should do, so I'll let you decide for yourself.

I will say though that the Constitution Day Money Bomb has really been picking up momentum over the past days, so I'm glad that we still have 10 more days to promote. Every person that shares the graphics and invites their friends to the event helps multiply our reach. Together we will be able to reach many more people over the next 10 days than we have so far - which is already in the 10's of thousands.

I'm not sure what's going to happen with the two other groups regarding a ticker or the campaign - but from what I've heard I am pretty confident there will be a ticker up for the 17th.

I want to thank everyone again that is helping promote across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Google+ etc... the amount of likes and comments and shares are amazing.

The campaign is aware of what's going on, so you can help make sure they have no choice but to adopt it by continuing to share and showing them that there is overwhelming support for a Constitution Day Money Bomb.

Anyone here have one of those radio voices that would be interested in doing a voice over for a promo video, or knows someone that does?

 

[orenbus]

At some point very soon (ideally this week imo) someone should probably start a thread with some potential dates/themes we can look at for mid October for a MB my vote would be preferably prior to Oct. 18, here on forums. I know we're in the middle of things for this one, but we need to decide quickly so we can let others know what we are doing. We need to avoid the headaches next month, we ran into this one.

Hey that is a really good video. Great clips! I was moved! Good editing

Can we perhaps get those video clips/project file? So we can edit it and intersperse it with voice over and other clips? I can give you an ftp server to upload to. It would really help to speed things up. I'm very busy atm, so this will help me tremendously. I can get this video done in one day. If it's easier you can also just render it without the music and upload it on youtube as 'unlisted'.

We got professional voice talents that's gonna do a dry read of the script that orenbus wrote.

We Fought For Our Independence…
And Took On A Tyrannical Central Government.
On September 17, 1786. The U.S. Constitution Was Adopted
On September 17, 2015. The Constitution Will Be Given New Meaning.
This September 17 Is Constitution Day.
And In Celebration, We Will Hold A Moneybomb For The “Defender Of The Constitution.”
Please Donate On September 17, 2015 to Dr. Rand Paul at RandPaul.com

So we want a forceful motivational music/tone?



Also I'm gonna make it a 30 second video and a shorter 10 second video. People have such short attention spans...

 

[orenbus]

This is essentially what we were looking at maybe wanting to reuse as the avatar matches the scene, the copy comes from this video although updated for 2015 to be used for voice over.



Integrated with the current Avatar and Box Letters Logo intermixed with Rand Paul quotes. The PSD is in the email I sent you in case it's needed.

Or perhaps a similar style like this? The challenge would be needing someone to go help find clips on youtube with links and timestamps if needed to get HQ video to be used. And it would probably take a lot longer so the idea above may be our best bet?




Probably the fastest/easiest approach would be to follow the first video here intermixed with the clips Jackie Moon collected integrated with the avatar and letter logo, animated new text effect, voice over, etc., unless there is a better idea?

Yeah without the battle scenes. Those might be great for a RP supporter, but not so great with everyday people. So I'm gonna make it appeal to a broader audience as much as I can. With it being a constitution MB tho it's gonna be hard to do that lol. Nobody cares about the constitution, that's just the way it is, we won't be able to change that in 2 weeks.

For the next one we need something gimicky and fresh.

Let's focus less on history and more on "we want your money, and this is why we deserve it".

edit: I think that's how a moneybomb video should be presented. "we need this money, this is why we deserve it... and it just happens to be constitution day on October 17. So let's all donate together!". So you basically add the little tidbit at the end that we're doing it on October 17. The date shouldn't be the focus of the video, the focus should be why you should donate.

 

[orenbus]

Well the target audience is RP supporters.

For the next one we need something gimicky and fresh.

Agreed.

 

[carlton]

Well the target audience is RP supporters.



Agreed.

The anti-establishment wave is something we ought to harness for our next moneybomb. We can tie Rand's slogan into it 'Defeat the Washington Machine,' into it and show some clips about term limits and career politicians. A lot of people don't see Rand as the outsider he really is these days and we need to help reestablish that cred.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I honestly had no idea what I was doing and was just glad I got that far when the free trial ran out on the program I downloaded, lol.

I think I was able to get the 4 clips I used uploaded to the ftp server. Let me know if anything isn't right or you need something else. Thank you for taking the time to help with this.

Also I'm gonna make it a 30 second video and a shorter 10 second video. People have such short attention spans...

Awesome, thank you. That was my original intention but it ended up at 1 minute. I agree that 30 and 10 seconds are a great length for people to watch while browsing thru their Facebook feeds.

 

[Chainspell]

Well the target audience is RP supporters.

Agreed.

idk... There's only a few die-hard RP supporters even amongst the RP supporters. Everyone else needs to be lulled in.

Oh also before I forget to say it Chainspell, glad to see you back in a MB thread! +Rep!

Huzzah!
