I guess I'm becoming tired of the slow-motion footage of blue-collar workers staring at the camera... and the stock images of people in the community.
It's not an indictment on the promo, just a personal sense after seeing the same thing over and over in TV promos these days.
Nice message, but the visuals seem canned.
Send us a link to your work, not canned image guy.
Sorry, after re-reading my comment (original post) it does sound sort of harsh. Not my intention.
I, too, have used similar shots of people in all sorts of promos. I just see SO many of the same sort of shots these days I've grown a bit weary of them. Visually and compositionally, they are well-composed.
As with anything, the more of something you see, the more creative minds will steer to something different. That doesn't make my opinion right, it's just my opinion.
This forum is great because it allows creative people to share ideas and processes. It's all subjective.
