What do you think of this type of video?

3 replies
Hi!

I thought I would experiment (thought it was kind of cool) animating an animals mouth/head/etc. (I am currently using this as part of a WSO to test any increase/change in response rates, etc).

a) What would you do to use this type of animation as an effective marketing tool? (Or more specifically, what would you do to the video below to improve on it?)
b) Do you think it is effective (for a 'coolness' factor), or do you prefer a 'regular' person talking with you in making a purchasing decision, etc?
c) For this particular video, do you find it humourous, 'ok', different, or what are your thoughts/opinions? What are your overall thoughts of it? (And was experimenting with different voices to use as well, assuming a deeper voice here matches the lion a bit better).


Thanks

    a) What would you do to use this type of animation as an effective marketing tool?

    Difficult to say other than it seems to depend on the market and the product. The
    product and the talking animal would have to 'work together,' or be appropriate on
    some level. For some reason I get the feeling that this would be the most effective,
    or accepted, by a younger audience.

    b) Do you think it is effective (for a 'coolness' factor), or do you prefer a 'regular' person talking with you in making a purchasing decision, etc?

    I prefer to have people talking to me, in person. Not in person, I prefer to read. Hard to
    connect this with any kind of coolness factor. But I'm 52. Hendrix is cool - a talking lion
    is not. Might wanna talk to the younger Warriors. lol.

    c) For this particular video, do you find it humourous, 'ok', different, or what are your thoughts/opinions?

    I have seen this before, maybe in here somewhere. I watched about 2 seconds of it. It's
    probably down to a particular person's preference or personality + age + product. I can't
    see this working with selling anything serious, like health-related.

    Investment advice? Good luck.
    SEO? Nope.

    Maybe something travel related like African safaris, or a zoo ad... I know...

    A political ad spot in the next general election. That's the ticket! (not a pun.)

    So there really ARE applications for this.

    What are your overall thoughts of it?

    Not terribly good. But that's me. Not the best person for advice on this.

    That is a little different, let us know how it goes with conversion rates.
