THESE are the stakes

After watching the disgusting RNC paean to terror last Friday, labeled these are the stakes, I literally dusted off my copy of Flash MX 2004: Hands-on Training and produced a response.  This thing literally wrote itself.  (You should have seen the first draft).  I've pared it down and published in youtube.

I realize it's long, but I'd like to see someone with skill, in the final week of the campaign, develop a 60 second ad to answer the repulsive RNC ad.  If you watch the ad, be kind because it's a virgin effort.  For my next trick, I have vowed to learn how to use the media controls and use video clips.

  •  Well done! (0+ / 0-)

    The images are stunning. Good editing. I liked your use of sound at the beginning. I'd love to see you tinker with this, put in more sound (like Chimpy actually saying "I don't spend that much time thinking about him."

    Nice to see inspiration in action, DeminNewJ!

  •  Very good. (0+ / 0-)

    Only criticism is that the red you chose is a little too dark against a black background. I'd suggest a brighter red. This should be seen by every voter.

    If you think you're too small to be effective, you've never been in the dark with a mosquito.

  •  Definitely a good start (0+ / 0-)

    I watched your piece after you posted it on the TLC thread and I think you have the start of a great ad - in fact it could be several ads.  I think the addition of some good mood music while moving through the points would help too. The stakes are definitely high.
