We should start a chip-in to get this AMAZING 30-sec TV ad in New Hampshire and Iowa!

Great new ad by FrankDogg.

Not many people have seen this.. I'm surprised! Very Professional. We need to get this on air in key primary states!

With all due respect, I believe the following two are much better. They only need a few teaks to be perfect, but are ready-to-go the way they are.

These took some time and effort with professional equipment in a studio, and the results really show.

[edit] Of course if you want to evoke tears, then get GHoeberX to do them...

This would also make a good radio ad.

wow the campaign really needs to use these. all of the ads in this thread are 100x better than the crap the campaign puts out.

Yes. the real campaign ads look like crap compared to this. "pros" generally suck and do, at best, a barely competent job.

 

[apc3161]

This is better than the one they ended up choosing, wth? Why didnt they use this one?

Anyways, I would definitely donate.

I must say these are better than the campaigns' but I don't know if it's just me but I get really annoyed of real people talking in ads. In my opinion it reminds me of those damn infomercials about losing weight and how "easy" it is, which we all know is a ton of crap.

thats a good commercial

It's a terrible ad for television, particularly if targeting an over 40 demographic who have decreased dopamine availability to grasp the content/message in a very fast (for them ) moving context. This kind of stuff is great for the under 30 crowd but it won't move people older than that.
So, that's one reason, another issue is that this ad would be highly likely to trigger epileptic fits in people who would be susceptible, too much swooshing and changes of position/flashing on the screen.
Not workable...
Frank? **C* YOU....you as well Sean...

Sounds like you're in the same boat as I am.

 

[voiceactivated]

Ron Paul Video

I agree with JustinC. The visuals are interesting, but the message is just a bunch of platitudes with emotional background music - it really could be any candidate's ad. In my opinion the most effect ads feature Dr. Paul in his own voice expressing his own views. I wouldn't spend my money on this ad.

 

[voiceactivated]

For radio only. And definitely NO to Ad #1 on TV. Older voters are not going to be pursuaded by a bunch of 25 year olds who are still wet behind the ears and have limited life experience. Why not re-shoot the ads and replace a few of the kids with some 50-60 year olds and you've got a good ad. It shows Ron Paul appeals to all types of people.

Thats what the voiceover is for.

And it resembles many tv sports game spots Ive seen... like the FOX Sports NL and AL pennant and world series promos.... which old people watch emphaticially.

There is an entire science behind the creation of ads based on neuro-transmission.
Resembling tv sports game spots has no link to a political ad where it's trying to persuade a person to a new value or belief.
It's too hip for broad appeal.

neuro-transmission



even with that big word, your post is substanceless. Too hip? Are those sports ads too hip? I think not.

I have met plenty of sports fans face to face when canvassing, they like politics mroe than you would think.

 

[Shaun]

What can I say?
You are right.
Thanks for your input,
Shaun.

Yea, I agree those two are superb!

 

[MozoVote]

You all are TOOOOO skeptical.

MTV went on the air, what? 25 years ago?

I'd say most people under 45 are accustomed to stylistic visuals. You don't need to be college aged.
