Test Audience

Marty did this commercial for the Downstream Collition and he can't decide which commercial will be best to air. They have different music, different writing, etc. The footage is the same. Please watch both of them and tell us which version you like the best. If you have any other ideas please tell us too! This would be so helpful because y'all haven't seen it! (Unlike Marty and I who have seen over and over again!)

Version 1





Version 2



Some thoughts: What of replacing Intellectual Property with the words Good Fortune or Gold Mine or .... Tell us your thoughts!

Thanks!

Um...I think they might both be the same. That being said - I LOVE it! The look on the teacher's face at the end is priceless. And I love how the voice over guy says, "It's all about the green"....is there any way to add something at the beginning? Like a conversation between the band student and the band teacher? Maybe they want to have a really successful fund raiser and want to steal the cheerleaders tactics or something...Anyway, it's great, way to go Marty!

I like them both..but I slightly lean towards the 1st one. Another confirmation of Marty's genius. Good luck.

Ok, now I can see each version. I like the music for the first one better, but I like how the terms are 'written out' in the second one as opposed to being typed in the first one. I also like that extra shot of the band teacher in the middle of the second one (did the first one do that? I didn't think it did, but I don't remember...). Also, what about 'Jack Pot' instead of 'Intellectual Property'? I also prefer the logo at the end of the first one.

I like the 2nd one better (I like the feel of the music more). I also think putting "gold mine" instead of "intellectual property" like you suggested might be better too. They are both awesome though. Congrats on doing some great work!

I just read Jewels comment and I think "jack pot" would be perfect.

Both good, but I think I like the 2nd one better. The music is funny in the beginning. and I might be a little slow, but in the first one it was just a little hard to catch everything - like the 3rd shot I couldn't read all the words fast enough and I like to read everything. NOt a big deal though. LOve the teacher's face at the end. and I think the words "gold mine" in the second would be perfect. Garrett should stop by soon, and i'll have him watch it. He's better at this than I am. Good job Marty!

I like jack pot too.

Both are GREAT! I like the music on version 1. I also like "intellectual property", it goes well with the 007 theme music. But with that said, "gold mine" or "jack pot" goes well with the highschool theme goin' on. I agree with what someone said earlier, version 2 was easier to follow. Apparently I don't read fast enough to follow the typed terms. I had to watch it more than once to get it. Version 2 is slower and easier to follow, I think I like it best. I can't wait to show Brett when he gets home tonight! Thanks for sharing Marty's talent!

We like the second one...we liked the words written out best.

The music to the first one was better but it was a little cliche and made us think of Mission Impossible (which may have been the purpose), but the second one seemed so much more innocent and sneaky.

Loved them both though. We'll look forward to seeing which one you choose.

Jessica said...

Thanks so much everyone!!! You are all so wonderful to help us out. Marty thinks he will move forward with the second one. I'll post anything new he changes to get your advice! Thanks!
