Re: Marketing video for Team 706 Lunacy Bot

I just watched your video, and I have some comments for you.

First, the quality is outsanding. Youtube is bloated with grainy/cellphone quality videos, and this is a nice change.

Where's the beef?????

Right now your footage is entirely your robot. The robot is a nice "attention getter", but for someone riddled with ADHD like myself, it gets old. I think that if you want to get people interested (especially sponsors) you need footage of students actually WORKING on the robot with a narrator explaining what they are doing (and what they are learning). Explain what your team, and FIRST, is all about.

Towards the end, you always want to leave your audience wanting more. You've got a nice concept of how to do that, but I think that you need to develop it more. For example, you could divide the video into sections with each one opening up with a question like "got _________ ?" and then go on to talk about " ____________ " (ie, programming, competition, etc).

Hope that helps.
