Internet Safety PSA

This PSA was terrific. Internet safety is a very modern and new problem, and this video illustrated the dangers in a perfect, unique way. The shots were perfect and and actors were really good. The piece really looked professional. There was really nothing i didn't like. Even the typography at the end was really visually easy to look at. Very well done. One of my favorites so far.

Child Abuse PSA


I think this is a professional work, but it really seems like a highschool student put it together. The acting is awful and unbelievable, the camera angles and shots are slow and centered, (RULE OF THIRDS!) and the slow motion is cheesy and out dated. Really needs some work. The barbie idea is kind of week and the kid to teenage transition was confusing and out of place. No bueno. 

Girl Talk PSA


Splode PSA



I've always loved this PSA a so i thought id post it. It so goofy and fun and then it turns very serious very quick. It's one of the only PSAs I've looked at that are about something totally different than the video, and i love that. The videography is great and the typography is extremely simple but more powerful than any other typography I've seen. This is a good, classic PSA, one we should learn from!

Cooties PSA


Not bad. It was really fun and ironic, but not perfect. The camera shots were good, and the fades made it seem ironically dramatic. I also liked the sad piano music in the back, that really added to it, however the courier new font in the typography was a terrible idea. What is this New York Times? No. So don't used a giant version of a serif font. Rookie mistake! The idea was fun but it could just use some tweaking.
