Hi there guys!

Please tell me what you think of this advertisement I made. It tells about how useful drawing can be.

Sorry for the bad picture quality!!! Sad

Its pretty good. I'm not sure if your wording for the on screen text is grammatically correct but thats just nitpicking. What program did you use to make this?

Very Impressive! My only suggestion would be to use a more professional looking font. Other then that - Genius!

NOt bad at all - some of the sketches where a little difficult to see - especially the architecture one. As its an animation pience you could get away with thickening up those lines for the video.

I found the music a little dull too. Maybe that's just down to taste but it felt a little sluggish with that track.

Thanks for the comments. The quality is a bit bad because Youtube compresses the videos... Sad

But you're right I could have thickend the lines...

first, i dont like the texture on the pen....it looks messed up for some reason, i think a nice black pen might look better.

Also, the ad should come to a climax in the end, but right now, its just like 5 examples and then its done. Your footage and music should reflect increasing importance as the video develops.

as someone else said, use a different font.

also, maybe try to get a narrower depth of field, i think it would make your ad more dramatic, which i wager is something you want.

At the end you should put down some info about yourself, contact info, ect.

also, why is there a white eraser when you have a pen as a drawing instrument?

make the table less shiny, it makes the scene look too fake.

and for the car thing, start off with the paper in landscape mode, it looks weird stretching it out like that.

the transition from the outline for the building and the color version looked weird also, like only the middle half of the frame had the effect applied to it, you should either do the entire frame or just the page of paper

the white text is hard to read over the white page, so either change the color, put a bolder outline around the text, or put a dark semi-clear dark cloud behind the text to make it easier to read. or, just make the text separate from the footage, on the top or bottom over a black bar, or you could just have a black screen befor each shot with the text. Try to find a more OFFICIAL looking font, maybe one that uses all caps.

i liked the music tho, and your idea with tranformations is good, but it not really professional yet, if thats what your aiming for.

never underestimate the importance of EASY READABILITY for your viewer!

WOW, there's a lot of advice... Thanks for the tips! Smile

Actually this was a school project so I'm not advertising myself or anyone else.

You're right the text was a bit hard to read, but the animation effects don't maybe look so professional, but I feel that they make it more attractive to the viewer. I don't know, because I'm not a professional. I'd like to have professional look to it though. Smile

Thanks for the advice! Smile

Thanks everyone for the comments! I hope to some new advertisements later... when and if I have time. I'm also working on a comedy series which we're making. Hopefully all of you would watch it too.

I'm glad you've liked this commercial I made, it is my first and of course has many things to better. Wink
