Congratulations! This is another of my favorites. It looks very professional and I like the multilingual, multinational aspect of the video. Having the "victims" filmed in profile, in the shadows (like a true-crime documentary) is a nice touch.
Would one of the producers mind telling us which languages are heard in the video? My guess is:
[unknown African language]
German
Italian
[unknown Scandinavian language]
Romanian [?]
French
I wish you the best of luck in the contest. I'm grateful that I'm not one of the judges -- there would be more than one winner. :-)
JTR,
Thanks for the language clarification. Yikes, I was way off on some of my guesses. I'll listen to it again and use the Pause button ...
I hope you had Valium on hand for the actors portraying those poor Windows users; they seemed pretty stressed out. :-) Thanks again for the fun video.
This commercial sets people up for frustration and disillusionment.... I don't think this is close to a linux experience at all... I loved the start of the commercial and gave you 5 stars... but the end, i actually reduced my score to 3 stars.
Be careful that you're not promising too much.
I think this would have been much more successful concluding with a focus on one of these types of features:
Free, as in open and cost
Customizable
Stunning graphics
Stable Kernel -will not fall over OS wise, (it still has issues with 'just working' sometimes)
Flexible
Safer from viruses and exploits.
not a blanket
"You have no problems? ah, you must be running linux..."
bleech... pretentious, unbelievable and loses the fantastic momentum of the first 2/3rds of your commercial.
Sorry if i'm sounding a bit harsh. I loved most of it, just thought it was worthy of a stronger ending.
Omegamusic is right, I liked it a lot, but the ending is poor.
It needs a kind of "release from tyranny" ending, something like "people around the world are victims of crashed systems, have their data stolen and their work corrupted. Free yourself. Free yourself with Linux."
Thank you for sharing this fantastic commercial. There usually are problems such as the people were describing and the video is a comical way to portray that. You are very clever and we will be back to see more. casino en ligne
