New And Improved Version Of Grassroots Video.

Fantastic video! This perfectly illustrates the universally-appealing Freedom message of Dr. Paul.

While people can disagree with his stance on certain political issues, it's hard to take issue with the idea of personal liberty... This is an issue that appeals directly to people on a personal level, and doesn't require any level of "political awareness" for people to understand (whereas military policy, economic policy, etc. often require a little bit of extra 'teaching').

Awesome job! Thank you for doing this.

I've been working on this video since about 9 pm last night, almost non stop. I'm a little delirious at this point.

It's so amazing how much effort so many of us are willing to contribute because we are inspired by the decades of work Dr Paul has contributed before we ever heard his name.
And it is amazing how much we learn from trying, and from sharing our opinions.

It makes me very hopeful that we are learning tools that will really help, come what may.

Ok, wow. That was/is seriously amazing.

• The speech/poem that you wrote and the people delivered cuts right to the core of to the soul...and it sings. The cadence and phrasing is beautiful man.

• The speech by Ron (NH ftw!) that you decided to use in the second half = genius. His tone and pitch is perhaps the best it's ever been on the stump. It's stern, gruff, tough, and alpha. A perfect counter point to the first half of the video. Seriously, the sections of the that speech you selected were BOSS.

• The song you used for the backtrack = PERFECT. Love love love the organ (almost had a hammond b-3 vibe).

Again, wow.

Additional thoughts:
The homespun style/quality of the video adds a lot of authenticity to the message ... so I'm not even sure if a little bit more 'production value' (polish) would add or subtract. The only thoughts I had while watching were:

• If another version ever gets made, MOAR people ftw! 1 individual for every line delivered would quite the feat

• Any thoughts on the vibes/feelings generated from using a scroll instead of text blocks that fade in and out? I liked the scroll... but couldn't help but wonder if text blocks would generate a different or similar effect. Block generally are more efficient, but the font would be small for them.
  • E.g. = Thanking everyone in scroll mode (using the same large font as the quotes) ate up a lot of screen time. Perhaps making the font smaller or using blocks would allow for another awesome Ron Paul quote to make it in.

• During the Ron Paul NH speech section, while the scrolling quotes and credits = cool, I wonder if doing a split screen and showing a black & white cropped (and filtered) shot of Ron delivering the speech in the right half of the video box wouldn't add a little extra emotional umph/impact to the words being spoken (see: will.i.am's yeswecan - ... man does that video make me feel gross now)

Have you considered sending this to RevPAC?? I feel like they'd love to see this speech/poem... perhaps they can help max it out it's potential?

Also, imagine if Ron delivered this speech - a few words and phrases would need to be turned around obviously, but still... the potential is definitely there. You should re-work it a bit and send it to him

Anywho, fantastic work +rep
