Hey Everyone,
I knew the best place to get someone's opinion on a video would be here, so here it goes.
I recently entered a video contest held locally here in Nevada regarding child abuse. They wanted a 30 sec. PSA/Commercial that would move the viewer to want to actually do something about child abuse, but there couldn't be any violence or graphic scenes. I had to include a phone number and a way for people to get more information all within that quick 30 seconds.
I think it came out well, and since I didn't have any kids of my own to film, I purchased some clips from crowdcontrol's selection of clips at http://www.allbetsareoff.com.
Unfortunately I posted it on youtube *before* I bought the "Creative Cow Master Series - Internet Killed the Video Star", so the quality of video isn't as good as I would like it to be. Regardless, let me know what you think?

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your comments on my Dancing Donkeys video.
I watched your advert, and I think you managed to get the message accross very well in 30 seconds, especially since you were using only stock footage. The saturation at the end of the clip was effective as well. The voice over was easy to listen to, not too dramatic or monotone.

Thanks Matt,
I hope it does well too! I'll post the results just to share with everyone how well it actually did once I find out more hopefully after July starts up.

Thank you,
The good news is that I'm very proud of how well it turned out and think it's for a good cause. The bad news is that the organization that did the video contest, bailed on the contest and has ignored anyone who applied. The fact that there is a contest is now non existent and no one will win the chance to get their video broadcasted or win prize money. I wonder if they are blaming the economy or just don't want to pay the winner?!
