I think our “Paint the Town Ron” Banner & Sign project presents a great opportunity to make a top notch YouTube video that will get our Jacksonville effort some national exposure.
Thanks to Terry Howard we have access to a very high quality video camera and I know we have the talent and creativity within this group to come up with a really cool finished product.
In case you haven’t seen the Memphis video – I copied the link below and it will give you a better idea of what I am talking about…

We need to brainstorm on the content, including the right background music.
The Music
I have posted some sample suggestions for music that you can listen to at the following link:

If we want to go with a local flavor we could use 38 Special or Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I put ThunderStruck by ACDC and The Who’s Bab O’Reilly for a high energy feel.
I included The Beatles Revolution and Buffalo Springfield's For What It’s Worth for a more classic feel.
I’m sure there will be many other great suggestions – so go ahead and throw out your ideas and we'll see if we can decide on the perfect song.
The Content
Just some general ideas I came up with…
1. Start out with the text:
Paint the Town Ron
Inspired by Memphis, TN
Perfected by Jacksonville, FL
2. Have some quick sound bites from different members of our group:
Why we love Ron Paul
I was a democrat but now I …
I never cared about politics but now I…
I am a mother and I support Ron Paul because...
I am a business owner and I support Ron Paul because...
I am in the military and I support Ron Paul because...
I am a student and I support Ron Paul because...
I am retired and I support Ron Paul because...
etc.
3. Show step by step video footage of the entire process (even if we have to recreate it):
Location of the production area
Placing the order(s) for materials
Setting up an assembly line
Stencil Cutting
Grommets
Painting
Mapping out our routes
Teams getting in their cars
Putting up the signs and banners around town
The finished product
4. Maybe have the last scene of the video a shot of the Ron Paul banners next to the “Jacksonville” sign on the I-95 overpass north of SR 210.
