JT! Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 One word: Rank.You were like an really nervous 8 year old child giving a speech on 'What Biketrials Means To You' in front of all your classmates.If i were you I'd remove the link asap. Because that isn't going to do anything good for 'Ridden clothing' what so ever. It's put me of completely, as every time I'd wear the t-shirt, I'd be reminded of that. Couldn't really concentrate on the riding as i had my hands over my face throughout the dialog.All the best with everything though, hope people don't think the same as me, for sales sake.

POW!!^^ smack on, couldn't have put it better myself. Although it must have taken a fair bit of time and effort to make the horrific promotional vid, it really is not promoting anything, except a bad image for ridden clothing. It looked unprofessional, and ffs it sounded like a perfume ad, but for a t-shirt??? I'd remove the link and see about making a poster rather than a video, it would look far more professional, and would prevent the audience from laughing/crying.

Sharp_ Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I quote..."They are from Canada, and as anything from canada should last a while"Well once i had a canadian girlfriend and she didn't last long. I have to agree I think you would sell alot more if you made the add more agressive and rocky, as if to say yeaah buy one these they are coool!On the pluss side the t-shirts looked pretty decent, i like the logo.

I understand that everybody disliked the video, fair enough, but be more constructive - Rank and 'No you dont want to see it' (thanks Joe!) isn't a lot of help.

CBProductions Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) READ MY THREAD PROPERLY , I did genuinely like it. I'd just suggest a few slight improvments like making it more punchy using quick snappy voice clips and less like a documentary . Youre riding is better than mine and I do like your style. Thing is whenever us media people release anything it will be under close scrutiny as to find mistakes and this is what makes us better because we have the balls to try !!!Do second version and get people's opinions , my msn is in my profile if you want to hear mine.

Smo™ Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Please think up a script or something before recording it. I liked the idea, but to be fair if I didn't know who you are I'd be thinking 'this guy is speaking out his ass' because you basically were.'...and they were really, really cool.''...t-shirts themselves are pretty cool.''...express ...how bikes are like they are.''...they're not gonna fade what-so-ever.'Get my point? Good idea though, I reckon if maybe you'd thought slightly harder about to represent the company you could do something pretty special.

RicH_87 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 two things i can think of were, 1. dialog was almost there but just too cheesy and like you were thinking on the spot. At one stage it sounded like a toothpaste commercial where they pay people to 'act real life'.2. No contact details, where to buy, price etc. Not even a hint. Which for a promotion is kinda important? If there was, i can't remember seeing any, and i only watched it 10 seconds ago.other than that it was ok, i think i know the sort of style you were going for, but to pull it off you really need to believe in what you are saying or love what you are trying to explain. So maybe you should take a less personal view on it and just make something short, snappy and too the point. Rather than sugar coating the whole thing.Show the shirts (intro was good), show a badass riding clip with you wearing a shirt, maybe ride back to the camera and show it off- no need for dialog, finish with some sort of graphic with a catchy statement and priece/place to buy or whatever.Oh and remember who you are trying to sell it to, these guys/gals are your mates, fellow riders etc, just chill and have a laugh, don't be too serious with it.
