Urgent Suggestion for Christmas, Halloween & Holiday vids

[FullBusinessSuit]

The holiday vids should make more references to whichever holiday the video is for. Not doing this is missing an easy opportunity to set a mood for the video. I realized that the holiday videos don't seem like holiday videos because I lose track of the idea that the game exploration video is for that holiday. I don't like a lot of things about cable TV, but one thing they did right is create a theme for holidays, like halloween, and you *knew* it was time to get in the halloween/christmas spirit. Commercial breaks would have a quick shot of some lit up carved jackolanterns and spider webs or something. These are the "things you see all the time" for halloween, but it does the trick!! I don't want to say *how* to implement these things (unless ross is really interested to hear about it, but I think he watched the same television i did as a kid) or which things to implement; all I'm trying to get at is making the idea of the holiday more present in the viewers' minds; i really feel like all these holiday vids lost potential without having done this.

 

I have some example ideas, however these are just some quick ideas and it can be done however:

 

- for halloween videos do a segue to pumpkins and show carved pumpkins or something

- tell a relevant story or anecdote about something that happened on that holiday.

- play some generic christmas music. jingle bells is always a winner (even if you're tired of "the same songs" ross. I WANT TO HEAR JINGLE BELLS ALL. THE. TIME.)

- talk about festive activities related to whichever holiday and go on the quick tangent to titillate our thoughts

- sleigh bells for christmas

- lets see some green ooze for halloween. everyone likes green ooze, ross 8-|

 

I think you get the idea.
