I saw that the main video on avweb.com today was of a 1-26 flying
ridge, nice exposure.

This is a very well done promotional video. It does remind me,
however, that we project an image of soaring that in the U.S. that
will go largely unfilled. The promise is aviating in a fine looking
modern sailplane as illustrated. The reality is, that in more cases
than not, we will stuff a student in some 40-year old claptrap 2-33
and try to convince them there is a relationship to the image in the
video. I like the video, the bigger question for the growth of
soaring is do we actually deliver on the promise?

1. I agree with Bob's comment on the promise and delivery. Many
don't walk the talk.
2. I thought the narrative was very good. However, I could have done
with one, at the most, two launches and fly-bys. The touted
'experience' is weakly demonstrated as there are no in-flight
inspirational shots which should include perhaps a gaggle, a cruise,
and perhaps some wave moments, cloudbase, a ridge run, or even a
training shot, which could have replaced the clearly mundane (note
that video trickery was used instead). IOW, it's not as memorable as
it could be.
3. This type of promotional video doesn't have to be a lonely
effort. The Hines' have shown an interest, many more are interested,
why not put together a collected effort to gather some great snippets
that express what is being said and have another poke or three at it?
I'd recommend gaggling in the SSA Publicity Committee and starting a
media working group and getting a storyboard going.

Something more along these lines?

Clearly it has the better chance of getting Gen Y to drop the Nitendo
and learn to fly.

Yes, though that's a bit xtreme, mother may not approve.

There are several by Sebastian Kawa worth viewing

This one's relatively new, but in the comments SK says he dropped his
camera.;^(

This is a very well done promotional video.

I found the video quite boring. It may appeal to older generations but
on younger viewers it won't survive the first 30 seconds. A succesfull
promo video has to be short, exciting an convey emotions.

This reminds me of the movies they showed in High School telling us to
stay off of drugs. All it's missing is the "Fwap, fwap, fwap" of the
reel-to-reel projector spooling out at the end.
