Here's Fred's announcement. It's 15 minutes, pretty long for a Web video, but surprisingly enough, he held me through most of it.


What do you think? And how would you compare it to those that came before?



Comments

Agreed

I watched all 14 minutes also. The editing of the video was superb. His message is strong. I kept thinking of Richard Nixon with all of the head bobbing though.

One thing I noticed is that at the end of the video, when the announcer reinforces Fred's "ask" for a donation, both the announcer and the on-screen text tells people to click on the "donate" button to the right.

The "donate" button doesn't exist.

There's instead a "contribute" button.

Yeah, details. No one notices these things.

it was good

watched the whole thing, I think he does a good job of combing in old school and new media.  It was a litte slow in the middle but held me to the end.  His Michael Moore response video is still my favorite.

 

Re: David, i'm on his website and the button says "donate" under the make it happen headline, contibute is up top.

Watched Fred in Iowa today

Watched Fred in Iowa today on CSPAN. Both McCain and Thompson have to be careful not to be out in the sun too long :) In any event, I too found that Fred's 15 minute video held my attention well. I liked the two-camera tactic, and the office set was actually pretty effective. Looking forward to more Fred videos -- without so much head bobbing :)
