Hey guys,
This is my first stint as a campaign manager. And here is my candidate! :) I'd appreciate your feedback on the video. It's our first one! We hope to make several of these and get them out to the district via email. This is our introductory "Meet Sandra" video. Thoughts? :)

1. Where is District 112?

I think the video is fine, but I would have written "only a Vietnamese" instead of "just a....".

"Just" sounds somewhat demeaning, in my opinion.

Good work and good luck, crispini.

4. North Texas.

Thanks! That's a good point.

8. I should have checked your profile.

I moved to Tiburon from Dallas (Bluffview), and will probably be back around election time, visiting my sons.

2. Well you sold me - I'd vote for Sandra

She's very bright attractive and personable and the ad does a great job of presenting her.

Only question - is a 1:48 ad too long for the limited attention spans of most American voters?

Can you buy ad time in blocks that long?

[crispini]

5. Haha, great!

This is a You Tube only vid. We probably will not have much money to do TV -- if we do, it would be, like you said, a 30 second spot. We're going to put this on our website and get it out via email, etc. Do you think it's too long for the You Tube crowd?

7. if its for YouTube it's not too long

It's an effective ad and if you are able to scare up some $ for TV ads it would be a good one to abbreviate.

Good luck on your effort.

3. Congrats to you, crispini!

I'm no critic, but I liked this ad. We now know how she got here, what's she's accomplished education-wise, and she pulled on my heart strings a bit with her story of being honored by being selected to represent the US. Nice!
What's her competition like? Is change in the air, I hope!
Have fun with this!

6. It's a tough race, but we're going to work hard.

I'm hoping this will be one of the five races that let Democrats take control of the Texas house. :D Thanks! :hi:

9. Woohoo!

You go girl!

Good video. Great intro to the candidate.

Next: more policy positions, differentiating from opponent.


Good luck, crispi!
