WEB DESIGN

Hey everyone,
So as some of you may know. I have been working avidly on my new website Project Casting - Free Auditions, Free Casting Calls & More!. From writing 12 articles a day to purchasing likes and followers on twitter. My latest adventure, per a WF advice, was to create a video to market my website. I recently created a video detailing people about what my website is, and who can benefit from it.

Any feedback is appreciated, and any tips to help make this video go viral is also appreciated. Thank you for your help, and hopefully, I will soon be able to spread my knowledge with other IMers.

Checked out the video and it looks and sounds great. There's definitely a call to action and it had my interest the entire time. Checked your Facebook page too, lots of activity going on...I don't really have any ideas right now about helping your video go viral but maybe you could find inspiration from this: Google Kevin Alloca Why Videos Go Viral. It's a 7min-video (I think) and the information is very helpful and it can inspire to you find out what your first step is.

Thats a cool video. You need views. You could also spend some time participating on YouTube, commenting on other people's videos, etc. but ultimately you need to kickstart your views. And build backlinks to the video, social bookmarking, social shares, etc.

The only other thought I had was you give your website, email, and facebook url's at the end of the video, but how about ending with a specific instruction to the viewer, maybe add an annotation.

I would also distribute it to other video sites.

Hey,
It's good video I think.
How you do that or to whom you outsource it? (just PM-ed you)
And I think it's better with voice more than music.

Really nice video dude, nice music too.
How did you get the video done? Did you do it all by yourself?
How much time did it take?

Thanks everyone for the compliments on the video. Do you guys know of ways to making it go viral. I tried submitting the video to social bookmarks, but that rarely ever works.

I told all my friends, submitted to dozens of facebook groups. Any other suggestions?

the video auto played and was below the fold. so when i went to the site i thought it was just music playing. you need to bring it above the fold. i missedd the first 20 seconds of it.

also, when it gets to the part where the text is talking about, what to do, 500 a month, etc. it is too fast to read each line. its also too fast when you have the url, email and facebook links up. i had no time to read them and remember them. slow those down too.

fun video though.

  Yeah hockmasm, I got that a lot that the video moves to fast. i will see about slowing it down.
  
  I would like for the video to appear above the slider, but I'm not sure as to how to make that happen.

Nice video but i cant think it will go viral. Its an ad style video without a partucular twist or anything. Not something i'd share but very nice on your homepage. I'd try and think out of the box and shoot something about the life of unemployed, down and out, working in restaurant 'actors'. Poke some fun make people laugh out loud and then the hook is you can fix this for them.

Yes, the video looks great. I think it could be better though if you have someone narrating the text that comes up on the screen. I imagined it with an upbeat male voice.

I don't say it too many times during the day, but....WOW! This video is awesome!

It has a great feel and sound as well. I could see someone who really wants to be an actor/actress connecting emotionally with it.

I do alot of corporate web design, I would be interested in your video production services...that is if you were for hire

Thanks

To all people that like the video, all you need to do is learn AE and you can make videos like this too. Use adbobe after effects templates: Popular After Effects Project Files Files | VideoHive

The website is also a template: Gonzo - Clean, Responsive WP Magazine Preview - ThemeForest

Author please let the others know good work like this is within their reach too.

I understand

As far as marketing the video goes, share it via social media. Ask your friends to share the video to their profiles and twitter pages as well.

There's so many aspiring actors/actresses out there you'll hit them by going viral.
