Im in the tri state area of NY, NJ and Pennsy. Trust me. Everything here is faster then just about anyplace else in the country. We go and talk a mile a minute Especially conversation where I struggle to keep from smacking people just to "get to the point already"

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

When the game is over, the Kings and Pawns all go into the same box.

Anyone remember that IL-2 video "Come With Me" featuring a Zeke pilot against F4Fs and SBDs?   THAT is a great vid.  The SBD vulch fest is brilliantly edited.

I always pictured an ad for the game similar to something like this.....tells u exactly what the squad is about....what they do...whats in game etc etc

Just shrink it way down and hit on the high points


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU5R5MBKGi8




See now tis was well done and more in line with what I'm talking about. Its more then a split second of any single aircraft. Tells somethign of a story and makes a point. And combines it with music that grabs you.

In an AH commercial at least 5 seconds minimum should be devoted to each aspect. This allows you to grasp what your seeing. Lay it out in some sort of story line and add a music hook to get you into the feel of what you are watching

That was 12 seconds.  I don't think they'll join over 12 seconds, lol

Are you saying that in your Morgan Freeman voice?  :D

It was longer than that as the scene isn't over until the Wildcats have their say....

That said, better hook them in 12 seconds or they click SKIP AD.

True.  I thought you could skip YouTube ads in 6 seconds.

Hire Morgan Freeman for the voice-over! :rock

We have a professional voice over guy in our ranks. In fact, he did the V.O.'s on the two Military Channel commercials. I'd put him up against Morgan Freeman  :old:

If I had an option between the new vs. old (on History Channel),
old ad was much better :aok

Ok...

1st the ad should open with a flow of bombers and than continue with different videos from FSO/Scenario with real voice recordings... For example, take real videos from last Battle of Britain Scenario... They are amazing

And while the cool images with subtitles saying (real gameplay photage) than you comment on the fact that it is a great game features etc...

It really does not look good...

How about a powerpoint presentation with 2 hours of charts & graphs? I know some guy who could also provide a monotonous German accented voiceover...    :old:

This would be right up my alley. Probably a good reason to NOT try appealing to the pub-lick with it.

I think no matter how good the video is; if it is not promoted it will have no effect.   It’s kind of like putting a very effective billboard in your basement.   HT has a customer base that has a vested interest in the game drawing new customers.   
Maybe on a limited time basis, HT could pay x perkies for the community to link, hashtag, share the video on twitter, facebook, whatever.
