    • I like the idea and the rawness of the production, but think you should cut to a tracking c.u. of the paper as he lays out the objects -- I can't really see what those things are.

    • The music is great. It stays in your head long after the video is over. Something I think any advertiser would find enticing. The ad makes you think, the music carries you along the path. Subtle but thought provoking

    • enter your post here Simple, yet thoughtful and creative. Great music; and it fits well with the concept.

    • I like the concept, and the music goes well with it. I think where you laid objects on the sheet can go much much faster, and jump cuts would be great for that scene. I think this spot can easily be under 30 seconds without feeling rushed and still make the point come across very well.
      Plus, when the camera pans up to the window/sun, try a cross-dissolve to alleviate the harsh cut, unless that cut is exactly what you wanted.

    • Absolute Genius! The concept and music are both fresh. I checked out the band and they are wonderful. You owe it to yourself to see this band on myspace and youtube.

    • Thanks to everyone for the kind words and great suggestions. There is a great community growing over here at Current. Right now were trying to figure out how to make the objects clearer and more easily identifiable. Hopefully, a new versions will be up soon. Thanks again.

    • Love the home movie feel. Great musical accompaniment. Cool concept. Tough to make out the objects, but cool because you see something new everytime you watch it.

    • very nice concept. the artist formerly known as prince would be proud. great music choice, too! only one suggestion visually: the lines representing the "digits" could be a bit darker.

    • Very creative. Took me a few times to catch on to the objects, but I was intrigued enough to stay with it until I figured it out. Great job!

    • Well, yes, of course, the best commercials are not immediately understood. They require you to pay closer and closer attention with each viewing to get the full gist of the subject. I watched 3 times to get it and then a 4th for pleasure. Any advertiser were be pleased with that result, huh?! Excellent music, too.

    • Very well composed. Artistic, simple. I love the flow of it. Wish the individual objects were bigger or closer for better viewing, but that's an easy fix once green lighted. I look forward to seeing more of this one!

    • can't decide what i think about this one. i think it was done well - nice and cinematic - but i'm not sure it really sells the product that well.

    • I also thought it was a cool idea. simple concept. allways the best. The shot was too far away for me to see what the objects were. I had to watch it twice. The first time I thought that the paper roll was sposed to be the camera side of the phone??? and I was still trying to hold onto that thought long after you started laying down the objects. The pan up was also unnesary for me and would cut this into a 30. I thought the sign off was very cool. cool. Greenlite.
