Bitcoin Commercial

[BitcoinPorn]

I like them except the part at the end of "Bitcoin is a success because of you" as that would only apply to people into Bitcoin and thus not really the target of the commercial.

I may have busted out a complaint right there but that is because I know people tend not to be good critics and just bash, and honestly, you are not giving people a lot of material to work with, these are honestly turning out really cool imo, that one line is the only thing I could think of that didn't sit right, and hell, that is just my opinion, screw it.

I want to see these ones covered now.


Mom/Mothers

Dad/Fathers

Charities (you have that bonus of anonymous donations that people love that can be worked in idea wise)

Travelers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuyTKNAIzGU

Merchants: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJi5_V_RrXc

Buyers: (Coming tomorrow)

My suggestion is to have one with 3-5 categories. You can also have them split into single categories too.

I also disagree with the "because of you" stuff.

Maybe something like "because of thousands of people like you"

Oh and Please edit your first post and put the long current version in it.

I like the silly sounds, I would avoid music because we all have such different tastes.

EDIT after a few more views.

"No matter who you are" should only be on the big one with multiple categories

"Merchants bitcoin is for you" and "Travelers bitcoin is for you" would be more appropriate on the little ones.

Good Job!

Good point on no music what so ever.  I think the sound effects are the key if there needs to be any audio, that change sound with those words in the merchant one felt right

[TheBitMan]

I am having trouble finding sound effects for buyers I am going with "consumers" instead of buyers btw

[Smalleyster]

"Oh Cool!"

"gotta have it!"

"Mmmmm"

"Oh Oh Oh"

I couldn't think of one, but after reading that, I can imagine the word "Consumers" flashing by with a girl all giggly "oh cool!' or "gotta have it!" .. not overacted or anything, just a pleasant female voice that you can tell  likes whatever it is she is about to buy.

[TheBitMan]

I just don't know where to get them I checked google for unwrapping gifts but you have to buy them

Couple suggestions
1) A little more sound design - I can help with this, if you need it (PM me)
2) The ending would be much cleaner if you had a nicely rendered, simple bitcoin logo with the a link either to bitcoin.org (welcome to the community) or a specific URL designed to be a landing page for people who watch the vid, and want further information.

Idea:
What about going after more specific niches, and doing a bunch?  "Bitcoin is for students... Bitcoin is for Mothers... etc."  Maybe either a picture, or more than one line of text should differentiate between them though - its a bit sparse currently

Eh.. no sound? Any 2 year old could make these.

I can easily add music. And they both have sound effects.

Do I make it for the organizations or for the people donating?

Right, because 2-year-olds are noisy, and like noise.

The ad targets are not 2-year-olds.

Suggestion for audio:

Several different voice actors (maybe 3) saying a simple phrase (with confidence and sincerity):

"I use bitcoin".

The voices should be very different for example, a women, perhaps an older person, and a teenager.

Might be better if this was with video. That takes good talent though.

That's not a bad idea but  I'm 15 and I am not a pro 

[Smalleyster]

Forget the video, you're doing *great*, epecially at 15!

Maybe a long one with everything you do.

A medium wih 4-5 (this wlii be your "Bread and Butter")

A whole bunch of litle ones...

I love the idea of 3 diff voices!

I can contribute voicework and help with audio editing if you'd like.

You are doing good!

You still need to work on the end line.

Bitcoin is a success because of you.
That does not really do it, its not a success...Yet

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.

How about a doorbell sound, and then "it's here" ?

Also, i like the epic music "Exciting Trailer" found here:

If you can get some voices sure!

Nice work. No bells or whistles. Simple and to the point. A series of about seven or so would make a nice little campaign.

For the buyer/consumer ad, not sure that unwrapping a gift is ideal (rustling paper on its own could mean anything). How about a simple "I'll take it!" No need for more than just one voice (sticking with the simplicity of the others), and one that's decisive rather than too giggly or excited.

I like the restraint in the use of audio, though it might be nice if they could each be bookended with another sound effect e.g., again for buyers, "I'll take it!" and then at the end, as somone already suggested, a doorbell, then, "package for Mr Nakamoto (or Smith or Jones...)" and then they might not seem to end so abruptly (although, personally, I don't have a problem with how they end).

Are you planning on editing further the two up on youtube (Travelers and Merchants) or are they the definitive ones so far? It would be nice to share them, but only if they're not going to be changed and replaced soon.
