    I've spent ~2 hours watching the ads on youtube. It was very fun. There is alot of talent and creativity in our community. Just about all of them had at least one or two things I found interesting.

    But I also have some constructive criticism for the benefit of the future videos (if there's any):

    I found that about 95% of them fail to do what a commercial is designed to do: to grab attention. And that needs to be done in the first 5 seconds of the video. Come out with an explosive bang if you have to. I found most videos where very slow to get to the point. One minutes is WAY to long for me to be watching something trying to sell me something.

    Alot of people wrote short stories and then tagged on the lcation and wares of a merchant.

    Also, I was hoping to see more player ads. NPC's arn't the only people that craft and sell items. Haven't any smiths, potion makers or tailors made any vids to sell their own wares? Not to mention all the Mufflers and Murasamas going on sale from gachas.

    Janiisu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OFNJNAOkUY&feature=related It's a given that special effects and presentation help alot but that's all the video has to offer (*dances to the ctachy music*). Concider a video that grabs my attention just as well, if not more (the fact that it's a parody aside): Guvurnment's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szRfAYxLjMU&feature=related 

    curus123: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om-t0SjkvU4&feature=related I would have turned this infomercial into a teaser by stoping the video at 0:10 and working up the efffects a bit =D This one grabbed my attention in the first five seconds and then.... stretched it out o.o.

    RZetlin/Shionquet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wVNrbnWHb0&feature=related The best one so far. Short and to the point. The artificial voice is a little annoying. An interesting voice can go a long way as illustrated in MihRonoh's kick-a5s DK video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18q5QfG-ueU&feature=related or the commercial spoofing Ikea

    Anyways, all to say, congratz and good luck to all. It's been fantastic so far!

    Yes yes yes, a million times yes.

    Perhaps people forget what a commercial is supposed to do and want to pelt our eye balls with odd ideas or flashy effect. However, a television advertisement is designed to do what it's named to do, advertise. Almost 95% percent of these videos just informed. As players, we already know what so and so are supposed to do. We know their repair rates, we know what they sell, we know where they are. But all you'll be doing is feeding us information. It's like a knife salesman saying, "this knife is sharp!" but of course we know that.

    A good ad is one that slaps us and says "this is why you have to buy this thing because if you don't something will happen." That's why most automobile businesses make crash survivalbilty one of the primary points of their commercials, because they make it seem imperative and make the consumer feel defenseless. We know a car has four wheels and goes forward and back, but will it survive a crash?

     All and all, there is a major difference between advertising and informing. A majority of these videos don't see it.

    Keep in mind that about half or a little more of Mabi's population is young adults. Some of us don't have great video recording programs, a mic that doesn't static or puffy, or good photo editting programs. Thus we are slightly at a disadvantage. Not to say that we can't produce great work either, but it takes us a hell lot more effort to get something more stable than those already with great programs.

    Again, great programs doesn't mean anything unless you use it to its full potential. However looking at some of the commercial, some of them really had little effort, and only some of that were actually good.

    ^^^Neither Kyou nor I mentioned anything about production quality. The argument stands that alot of the ads arn't designed to grab attention and they tend to drag on. Less is more!

    How so?

     

    This is just a fun contest and people enter it to do just that... to have fun! Those of you who are giving alot of input on how a commercial should be and how most of the entries arent good enough, are you going to be entering too?

    very meaningful and constructive. Although you are probably not gonna read this anyway. You really do know how a commercial is made.  If by some reason you happen to read again. I 'd like some constructive criticism from you for my video:
