Video description:
Two-term Governor, Gary Johnson, says we can’t count on Mitt Romney, the author of government healthcare, to repeal it. Gary is our best hope for less government and more liberty. It’s time to put our differences and our parties aside and come together as a nation. We The People are ready to LIVE FREE.

This one’s subliminal message, NoBamney2012, zips by VERY fast. Ehh.
AB, yep. I wonder if it works for the “young,” if there is such a thing! 😉
One hears Ls railing against pollsters and focus groups, but with imagemaking like this, it might be helpful to have people outside the campaign review beforehand for feedback. I presume Team GJ has neither the time or funds to do that sort of thing, so they do the best they can trying to craft these things to maximize appeal.
I’m sticking with my A grade. A is better than all efforts since Clark, or ever.
Whether they can get the funds to push these messages out there remains to be seen.
I like the ad overall.
The music, the lingo (Baby, I’m with you), and the dancing guy are all ways to try and make it appealing to younger people.
EB, yes, that’s one of DL’s signature, along with this brooding, dark, really-look attitude, which is what I refer to. And now he’s doing music videos with quicker cuts….still dark as all get out….
Team GJ’s ad team has adopted this dark, urgent, yet non-threatening tone in these latest ads, which is a very fine line to walk. Not sound hysterical and wacko, yet urgent, yet positive in a sense. (Dude dancing may be there for that latter reason. No dudette, and maybe not the best execution there, though. I’m certainly not barfing over it!) I’d like to think I know enough about imagemaking to tip my hat to them.
“you can dance if you want to…” ? The freedom to dance vote remains strong in the Bible belt?
David Lynch would have spent almost a minute on a rotating wheel closeup (on the wheel of the wheelchair)
Nice! Timely! Well paced. I still can’t give it an A+, but another solid A.
The dude dancing at the end probably made sense to someone, but not so much to me. I guess it was an attempt to relate to young voters or something.
I like the new pic of GJ, and that micro pan.
The vid around the decrepit hospital was positively Lynchian.
Team GJ has now put up some fantastic ads. I do hope some monied donors are taking note. What is not to like here? GJ is leaving it on the floor in 2012. The Team’s found center.
