My Blog Commercial
By: Mona
.......................
I wanted to get into a bit more advertisement for my site and I know that my movie editing and creation skills have been rusty lately since I have not done it in such a long time. So I decided to make this video as a first commercial to my blog. I tried to upload it to youtube, but the encoding sucks. So I decided to check out dailymotion and it is a lot better!
What do you think?
I know it is a bit awkward in the end, but I am working on something better and longer. This is just my first experiment! 
Loading ...
The length of the advert does not do it enough justice. You started with the right note, but the ending seems too abrupt and sudden – as if something was missing. Other than that it was brilliant. If ever I make enough to promote my blog, I’d definitely choose you for the promos.
I had to accommodate the length of the song. It was 16 seconds and I know.. it ended weird.. but this is my first experiment..
More coming soon with animation!
a commercial for your blog? hmmmm that’s an interesting idea!
yah.. I seen lots of bloggers have such things in their blog.. maybe not a commercial per say.. but why not.. we can always try new things to enhance our appearance in the blogsphere.
Mona,
I always thought you are talented but never knew that much good job, I cant imagine ur anger but would advice u to channel ur energies positivel;y. This is one responsibility we all have take care and keep it up
Watched it 3 times, I still don’t like it.
Ok.
You should come up with a concept for a simple, yet fun flash game. Maybe some type of puzzle game, something ’sticky’. Then you can submit it to flash arcades and encourage other bloggers to offer it on their site for their visitors. If it’s fun and addicting, they will offer it. Of course, you would ever so subtly advertise your site in it… :lol:
I don’t have a clue how to relate a game to this site, but it would be a fun idea. If I were better at action script I would do it myself for my site.
The Video: I think the music, pictures, movement and transitions go great together. My only criticism is that the text gets lost in some frames and the end cuts off (which you already said you weren’t satisfied with).
Good Stuff. Keep going.
End. Long. Comment.
Nice Concept!
Mona, :mrgreen: would you be willing to showcase a few other blogs and bloggers along with yourself? It would lengthen and intensify your presentation… email me and I will share a few key ideas with you!
I can’t believe it…I am getting more addicted to this site.
Great job. loool I just noticed there is a preview happening of my posting this message…never seen that before.
There is a first time for everything.
Happy New Year I wish nothing but the best for you this year.
JJDW – I make games for a living.. That’s my job! You think I should make a blogger game?
Dave – sure.. no problem.. email me some ideas and we will see what we can come up with.. it should be interesting.
dannyd – yah.. I had people requesting the preview because they typed so much and wanted to see what they wrote.. I am just wondering why it went under the form.. hmmm.. oh well.. it works.. :lol:
1. Love the music… if you could tell me the name of the track, that would be grt.
2. Just noticed, you missed an “an” before Arab.
The song is called “Apologize” by The Republic featuring Timbaland.
lol.. I put a instead of an!! looool
Ok.. fine.. definetly a commercial made by a FOB Arab! lool
