Shit turned out really good. The end seems cut off a little bit. Text is a lil speedy I think for maybe an older viewer, but not enough to matter. And of course some audio, even though in a weird way I liked how that was silent.

Exactly, a bit slower and some sound would make it pretty good. |

I just don't want to use a copyrighted music. But some copyrighted "epic" music would sound great.

yeah, the end is cut off.
i'm older, and the text speed seemed fine.
i agree with BitcoinPorn that the silence worked, somewhat - but i don't think a full-length soundtrack would work, either. i'd prolly put a loud chord at the beginning to get people to look, tapering off the volume over four-six more chords to silence. grab 'em and make 'em read.
the 'multiplying in price' message seems a bit shaky. is there any way to push the transaction cost benefits?

King Critical here.
The wording wasn't so great.
Made it feel like the future of Bitcoin was resting on my shoulders.
I don't want to take on that responsibility.
I'd rather "be a part of history" instead of "making history single handedly"

I agree the 'multiplying in price' thing is not great - especially combined with the statement that 'the only way bitcoin can succeed is if YOU accept it' It sounds pleading.. and well.. 'pyramid scheme desperate for new blood' springs to mind! The speed seemed ok. |

the ad appears geared towards speculators in the 'multiplying in price' segment. yet overall, it seems more appropriate for merchants - and merchants hate transaction costs with a deep and burning passion. maybe what i mean is that the ad tries to do too much. decide on a market segment you want to address (merchants, buyers, speculators, savers, international payments, etc.), and deal with that one segment exclusively. and then look at placement. the overall design of the ad is attractive and effective - but you need individual ads for specific market segments. and frankly, i think the speculation segment of the market has been pretty saturated. |

You must skip the.
They only way for bitcoin to succeed.
It makes it sound like bitcoin is a really bad investment.
Tell people why bitcoin is for them.

Random: Young entrepreneur, take that advice to some of the other projects you have and how you present them to people. You should make a project for yourself that would challenge you to focus that one project to a very specific and targeted group just to test yourself. Basically, you have a person who likes Bitcoins. And you have a Male, 15-24, "Gamer", American, who likes Bitcoin. Before trying to find the middle ground with that, make a project where you focus on trying to convert that 15-24 American Gamer Dude into Bitcoin. Then do one for the general public. Sorry to pop all this crap in this thread, but Jaime Frontero is right, and past this thread I see how many sites you have, and I think you should keep doing what you are doing but fine tune and focus (so it does apply to this commercial but a lot of the stuff you do). |

here are three segments of more or less what i was thinking - gratis. feel free. Bitcoin is for YOU. No matter who you are.
Merchants. [queue sound of classic cash register ding and open...]
Bitcoin transactions are free. You pay no transaction costs to accept Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a success because of you.
It's time. note the lead line (your excellent one) - which ties into all the other ads. a memory-jog for viewers... Bitcoin is for YOU. No matter who you are.
Travellers. [queue sound of jet takeoff at airport, background PA flight announcement...]
Bitcoin has no borders. Send money anywhere in the world, without a charge.
Bitcoin is the leading edge of international payments.
It's time. note also that the trailing line (yours again) reinforces the memory again. good ads are remembered... Bitcoin is for YOU. No matter who you are.
Buyers. [queue sound of uwrapping package, and overdub: "it's here!"]
From your phone. Your tablet. Your computer. Pay with a click, no bank required.
Bitcoin makes it easy.
It's time. ...because they are repetitive, without being pedantic. |

Try looking at music from http://www.jamendo.com/ - that's all Creative Commons licensed, so you should be able to use most/all of it for your video (without royalties). |
Like my post(s)? 12TSXLa5Tu6ag4PNYCwKKSiZsaSCpAjzpu  I just can't wait for fall/winter. My furnace never generated money for me before. I'll keep mining until my furnace is more profitable.
