FOCUS GROUP OF THE DAY:

OK, gang. I have two versions of the previously referenced Uncle Sam Obama commercial to show you and I'm looking for feedback. They can be viewed at the link below. Visually, the edits are pretty similar (although there are a few differences). The big difference is the music. One piece keeps the communication sort of light and comedic. The other adds emotional weight--and turns it into a very different kind of experience. That piece of music has graphic language that would, of course, prevent it from airing on broadcast television. Don't worry about that--as my intention right now is just to upload the spot to Youtube. I'd really appreciate it if you'd indicate which version you prefer in the comments section below or, if you are reluctant to share your opinions on the blog, by sending me an e-mail at tcohn725@aol.com.

Finally, I want to thank those of you who submitted musical suggestions--many of which had real merit and appeal but, at least in our brief experimentation with them in the edit room, didn't seem to work as well as the ones we selected.

Anyhow, eager to see what you guys think.

Hello Teddy! How are you?
I watched both videos and I like them very much, but I think I would choose the version A. It's like for more people, more general... It's a good idea, you've got it!

By the way, nothing to do with this but: Who do you think is going to win the NBA? Lakers? What do you think of Gasol?
Thank you.
