Ron Paul: Right Then, Right Now, Right for America

[FreeTraveler]

We need a way to get the message out that the other candidates are stealing Dr. Paul's ideas, and that he's been right all along. And it needs to be short enough that it begs to go viral.

I know this can be done in 60 seconds or less, and I only wish I still had the tools to tackle it myself.

Update: Chainspell and I are working on this now. See later posts for help we could use.

================================================== ===========

(Visual: Ron Paul standing alone post-debate 2007, while other candidates glad-hand each other; pensive music under)

VO: Four years ago, Ron Paul stood alone,

(Fade to 2007 picture of him sitting alone in room with pensive look and debate shoes on during next sentence. For a snappier version, intermix some pics of sneers and jeers from other candidates before landing on that shot.)

VO: Alone in predicting the impact on America of too much government, too much war, too much spending.

(Visual: 2011; candidates lined up to shake Ron Paul's hand, post debate, music trends upbeat)

VO: Today, Ron Paul leads the pack, as candidate after candidate recognizes reality -- four years too late.

(Visual + Sound: Other candidate in recent debates: "Ron is right, Dr. Paul is right, etc, etc.)

VO: "In a time of false promises and politicians without principles. One man... will lead the nation... and restore America."

fade to:

RP: Clip from 2007 - "We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."

Fade to Ron Paul Logo/RP big smile pic; vo text above? applause from above clip fades under VO.

VO: Ron Paul - Right Then, Right Now, Right for America

==============================================

This could easily be expanded into longer videos, interleaving some way-earlier clips of Dr. Paul's predictions with other candidates saying the same things today. But I think the short-but-sweet version is the real winner.

oh sorry looks great ill work on it after i upload my new video today!

hehe thanks i love the enthusiasm i could really use the help in those areas :) i'll post here later with some thoughts.

[FreeTraveler]

Found a few pics from my old collection that may be handy.

Unfortunately, the only copy I have of this one had been photoshopped by the time I got it. I think SELLOUTS has to go, but maybe somebody else has a cleaner copy.

Here's an alternate picture, but it's not quite as good, IMO.

http://inlinethumb43.webshots.com/8810/2448068460100527759S500x500Q85.jpg

Of course, we all know and love this one. I'm sure you've got a better copy.

http://inlinethumb49.webshots.com/48240/2964219520100527759S500x500Q85.jpg

Here's another good shot for the pensive part, if it's needed.

http://inlinethumb32.webshots.com/5663/2751708490100527759S500x500Q85.jpg

And something like this is what I had in mind for the wrapup. I'm guessing you've probably got something better.

"Ron Paul: Right Then, Right Now, Right for America"

That is a star-caliber tagline. Really, really great. +rep

[Chainspell]

[B]VO: Why trust an imitation, when you can have the original?

this one sounds weird, or can be worded some other way

I assume this part:
(Visual + Sound: Other candidate in recent debates: "Ron is right, Dr. Paul is right, etc, etc.)
is going to be the beef of the video? we can devote maybe 20-30 seconds on this?

I also agree about making the video about as short as can be.

If you can compile those clips of other candidates I think we can get started.

Do you like the VO voice of this guy? http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?329257-Veteran-s-Day-Money-Bomb-Video-(sort-of...) I think I can contact him and have him do another one.

also I like the Ron Paul: Right then thing.

I like Ron Paul's statement on the founders above, but the video to that isn't the best.

We need a video like this, maybe a different video, where he talks about the housing bubble seven years in advance of it's collapse.

I wasn't crazy about the "Why trust an imitation..." either. I like your alternative: "In a time of false promises and politicians without principles. One man... will lead the nation... and restore America." I think since it will follow VO: Today, Ron Paul leads the pack, as candidate after candidate recognizes reality -- four years too late, then we show the other candidates now agreeing with him, the video in total will make the "imitation vs. original" point without belaboring it.

I don't know if you'll have 30 seconds for the "Ron is right" stuff with everything else in there. I'd really like to see the short version of this come in right around 60 seconds; that makes it easy to get people to watch the whole thing, which encourages it going viral.

I noticed in the last debate several of the candidates said something along those lines. I seem to remember a few from earlier debates, too. I'll go looking. If anybody else can point to them, that would be great too.

I think the voice you used in the new Veterans ad is great. It would be good if he slips into a more upbeat tone for the second half, where RPs ideas are catching on, I think. From the line VO: Today Ron Paul leads the pack...

Glad you like the tagline. I think it's very powerful.

I'll revise the OP to match.

[FreeTraveler]

We need a video like this, maybe a different video, where he talks about the housing bubble seven years in advance of it's collapse.

I picked the "We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed..." quote because it sums up his whole philosophy in a consise, easily remembered sound byte. It also nicely recaps the positions that the other candidates have co-opted. I don't think the housing collapse fits the theme nearly as well. It ties back to the early part of the video: VO: Alone in predicting the impact on America of too much government, too much war, too much spending. It's the best clip I remember for tying the two ends together. Other suggestions that accomplish that better would certainly be appreciated.


Maybe I can get Chainspell to collaborate on a video about his warnings after we get this one done. What say you, Chainspell? I've seen some long vids on his housing predictions, but nothing short and sweet. I think it could be a good one. I'll start thinking about a script after I go find those "Ron is right" bits.

[Chainspell]

yeah man if you wanna finalize the script i can send a freelance request for the voice over to be done.

[FreeTraveler]

yeah man if you wanna finalize the script i can send a freelance request for the voice over to be done.

I think the voiceover script is complete now, as reflected in the OP. See any more changes you think it needs?

[Chainspell]

So:

Four years ago,
Ron Paul stood alone,

Alone in predicting
the impact on America
of too much government,
too much war,
too much spending.

Today,
Ron Paul leads the pack,
as candidate after candidate
recognizes reality
-- four years too late.

In a time of false promises
and politicians without principles.
One man...
will lead the nation...
and restore America.

Ron Paul
-- Right Then,
Right Now,
Right for America
agreed on the stops?

[FreeTraveler]

Agreed on the stops. Go for it. I'm watching the last debate now to time the agreements. I'll probably have to do one or two more debates as well to find all the candidates agreeing with something. :)

[Chainspell]

yeah so you're gonna find the material for me? nice!! and you're gonna lay out what to use and when? nice!!

it's like a dream come true :)

[ShaneEnochs]

That sounds fantastic guys.

[Chainspell]

Agreed on the stops. Go for it. I'm watching the last debate now to time the agreements. I'll probably have to do one or two more debates as well to find all the candidates agreeing with something. :)

are we using that guy's voice again? or do you want to hear other voices?

ill just post an open request and tell that guy about it.

[FreeTraveler]

I'm gonna find the cut points to pull the agreements with Ron out of the videos. Way up there, I tossed in some low-res pictures that fit in some places. You may have better pictures or videos, more pictures, or better quality versions of those pictures, and you may want to add some if you want a snappier version. I'd keep the first one fairly simple so even us old folks will get it, but I can see a jazzed version with faster cuts and more images might be neat too. :D

[FreeTraveler]

I think his voice was good, but if you think you know somebody that's a better fit, that's cool too. I'll listen if you need a second opinion. My only thought is he needs to warm up a little compared to the Veterans video when he starts talking about the other candidates buying into RPs message.

[Chainspell]

okay we can do a simple one.

dont worry about low res images. once you show me what you want to use i can find a more high res version of it if needed.

do you want a simple straight clip to clip video without effects. but a more polished professional look? or you want it as simple as to look "raw" like it was a bunch of clips strung together without being polished?

[FreeTraveler]

Okay, did you find the pics in #12? There are a couple of possibles for the "stood alone" verses. It might be good to use that for the first verse, then move on to the pensive closeup or something similar for the "Alone in predicting..." verse. Maybe several pics. I'll leave the visual decisions up to you. The last shot is upbeat, I was thinking something like that under the tagline at the end. I'm not sure what goes under the "Ron Paul leads the pack verse... maybe happier pictures of him, or pics of him with lots of supporters?

I'll leave the effects to you, but I think if we want this to go viral, polished would be better than raw. We're competing with Romney and his billions, after all. :D I like the tone you set with the effects in the Veterans ad, and I'm sure you've got effects that will work with this message as well -- but if you think straight transitions would be better, I'll trust your judgement. I'm just a writer. :)

[FreeTraveler]

Oh, and we'll need something powerful to go under the "In a time of false promises" verse. Something that shows his visionary/leadership side.

Are you planning to put music behind, or just the voiceover and clips audio?

[Chainspell]

i get my music from audiojungle.net so if you wanna browse through the music sections and do a search for the word pensive or similar im sure you'll hear something you like :)

i still have some credit there so we'll buy it

[FreeTraveler]

Okay, I finished the CNBC debate, and the only quote I found in that one was Romney: "You do exactly what Ron Paul says" at 0:51:39-0:51:40. I thought there was at least one more in that debate, but I may have missed it. I'm moving on to Las Vegas.

If anybody reading remembers where particular candidates have said something like that, or "Ron Paul is right," "I agree with Congressman Paul" or similar, drop a post in here.

This is going to be the hardest part of putting this one together, but I know there are several occurances, some candidates more than once.

Also, at one of the more recent debates, several of the candidates moved to RP after the debate to shake his hand, when they've usually ignored him. It may have been the roundtable debate. If anybody remembers that one, give me a heads up too.

Handshakes, acknowledgements... anything short that shows he's not an outcast anymore will help build the case we're making, but those verbal agreements are the money shots.

Thanks, this is shaping up to be a powerful video. :)

I'm pretty sure that was the tag line from Peter Schiff's '10 campaign.

Edit: Nope never mind. Sounds similar.

[seapilot]

Someone posted the debate schedule on another thread here, it has all the videos of all the debates. Maybe we can split them up so people are not watching 30 hours of debates and it will be easier to spot an agreement statement. I am going to start at the beginning in May 5 debate. http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2012-debate-schedule/2011-2012-primary-debate-schedule/

[LibertasPraesidium]

This is great, I cannot wait to see the finished version. If you all need anything ill be online for a while and can find videos and links and what not. (we could do a MSM agreeing with RP video for the second series, take the MSM and then the Liberty broadcasters and show the difference for consistency). Ive seen MSM people say they agree with something he says then turn around and say something completely different.

[FreeTraveler]

If you want to pitch in, Chainspell pointed out an easier way. Find a transcript of the debate on line, then do a search for PAUL and I also found CONGRESSMAN works nicely. You'll find all his answers, as well as other candidate's references to him. Then you can watch the debate and fast forward to the appropriate areas to find the bits and get the timestamps. It saves a ton of time.

[FreeTraveler]

One bit I'm having trouble finding, and maybe someone with a better memory can help. At one of the debates, the Grinch went down the line, saying something nice about each of the other candidates. Anybody remember which debate that was?

EDIT - didn't see that you may get more submissions.

[FreeTraveler]

Yeah, so far I like the guy's voice better than the woman's. He may need to speed up a little bit to get the candidate quotes and RP's last statement into 60 seconds. I caught a pause or two in there that didn't seem right, either. Impact on America -- of too much I think that pause between America and of should go.

It would be a bitch to try and find the video though, although I know it's out there somewhere.

[FreeTraveler]

We're looking at a possible script change to shorten the voice-over and tie the theme together better with a different lead into Ron Paul's quote. We could use the shorter one for the 60-second version, the longer one for a more detailed version. See the part in a quote box below.

================================================== =======================
(Visual: Ron Paul standing alone post-debate 2007, while other candidates glad-hand each other; pensive music under)

VO: Four years ago, Ron Paul stood alone,

(Fade to 2007 picture of him sitting alone in room with pensive look and debate shoes on during next sentence. For a snappier version, intermix some pics of sneers and jeers from other candidates before landing on that shot.)

VO: Alone in predicting the impact on America of too much government, too much war, too much spending.

(Visual: 2011; candidates lined up to shake Ron Paul's hand, post debate, music trends upbeat)

VO: Today, Ron Paul leads the pack, as candidate after candidate recognizes reality -- four years too late.

(Visual + Sound: Other candidate in recent debates: "Ron is right, Dr. Paul is right, etc, etc.)


VO: "In a time of false promises and politicians without principles. One man... will lead the nation... and restore America."
OR
VO: "Ron Paul: One message for 30 years."

fade to:

RP: Clip from 2007 - "We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."

Fade to Ron Paul Logo/RP big smile pic; vo text above? applause from above clip fades under VO.

VO: Ron Paul - Right Then, Right Now, Right for America
================================================== ===========

What's everybody think? Other suggestions welcome, but remember short but sweet is critical.

The rest of the script is locked in.

yeah i think we're gonna go with him!! but ill let it be until tomorrow night, maybe we get a better submission.

i think i agree with changing the line "in a time of..." i dont think it ties in with the previous clips of candidates agreeing with him. so yeah if you can come up with a few options for us to choose from that would be great!!

add these ones too:
- "ron paul: a lifetime of principle"
- "ron paul: the only one we can trust"
- "ron paul: has the conviction of his principles"
- "ron paul: giving the same message for 30 years"

[FreeTraveler]

I like these two, but the second is still my favorite given where it falls in the video:

Ron Paul: a lifetime of principle(s)
Ron Paul: one message for thirty years

the trust one doesn't fit quite as well, and I think the other two versions of 'principle' and 'message just eat up some precious time.

Maybe someone else will have a suggestion as well.

Ron Paul: principles for a lifetime; principles for a nation

That last one just came to me. It's too long for what we're after, but a nice tagline for a video showing his historic principled statements.

[Chainspell]

I like these two, but the second is still my favorite given where it falls in the video:

Ron Paul: a lifetime of principle(s)
Ron Paul: one message for thirty years

the trust one doesn't fit quite as well, and I think the other two versions of 'principle' and 'message just eat up some precious time.

i wouldn't worry about time. we just get the message and we'll edit it later. :P

Bump for the night crew.

I think I like the Dave one the best. I still think you should artificially lower his voice pitch just a smidgen.

Try playing that voice and this audio clip at the same time. Hit the video play about two beats after you hear "audiojungle" at the start of the audio. The last note sounds just before "Right for America."

There'd be a bit of cut and paste to do to work around the video clips, of course, but it seemed to fit pretty well, even segment by segment. The more I listen, the spookier it seems to fit. :D The sweep fits nicely under the long version of the pre RP bit that you wrote, too.

http://audiojungle.net/item/inheritance/156980

It's nothing like I first envisioned, so feel free to say I'm crazy. And it's more about the theme than the particular piece, so I bet you've got something already in your library that will work.

I like it, and would love to see the video overlay.

[seapilot]

Are you still wanting more clips or have enough material to work with?

[FreeTraveler]

Find away. If we get too many for this video, I think Chainspell's going to do a longer version too. I seem to remember from one of the debates all the candidates clustered around Dr. Paul as the debate ends, but I haven't found it. I think it may have been clipped off whatever debate it was. Anybody remember that one?

Also, there are a few pics on page one that kind of get the idea, but I don't know what Chainspell has up his sleeve. I'd say if anybody finds video or pics that seem to fit part of the text, drop them in the thread. The more possibles he has to work with, the less time he has to spend digging around.

And I don't know if he's got the "We've allowed ourselves..." video yet either. I haven't looked for it lately.

I'm not sure I agree with your background music. To me, at least, it seems very weird.

[FreeTraveler]

I'm not sure I agree with your background music. To me, at least, it seems very weird.
Yeah, I agree. :D Like I said, it wasn't what I expected either, and I bet Chainspell has a better idea. The more I listened, the more I liked it, and that's probably a really bad sign when you're trying to make something that can go viral. :p It should hit the right spot the first time out.

You have to remember to mix it down, too. Most people have the background music set way, way too loud in their videos. It's there to work almost subliminally, not make the voice hard to hear. If you notice the music enough to break your focus on the other audio, it's too loud.

See Chainspell's Veterans ad at the top of the page for an excellent example of blending the music. It's almost invisible at times, at others smacks you upside the head.

Maybe we'll get some more comments and suggestions.

I have another submission. We will make a decision tonight on what voice and what to change that one line with. I can get started tonight on splicing up and making the basic structure of the video.

So if you would like to have your input I will be in the chatroom all night until 9 or 10pm PST working on putting it together. I expect the video to be done on Tuesday but no later than Friday 11/18/2011.

Thanks to everyone who's helping me and freetraveler with this project!! and if you want to be contacted as part of RPF's Video Production Team just tell me if you'd like your name added to our list. Melissa I think wants to be added on the voice over list too, don't know if she was kidding or not.

This

[FreeTraveler]

Yeah, I'm with pauliticalfan and Shane on that one. I still like Dave better.

[FreeTraveler]

It's coming together. Posting this here for people interested in the process we're going through.

With the Gingrich 11-second Federal Reserve and 2-second agreements from Romney, Perry and Cain, we've got 17 seconds in that section. Here's the order I'd recommend, along with timing and links.

I particularly like the Gingrich Fed quote. It starts off "Ron Paul is very happy tonight" and praises his 30 years of dedication to the cause.

The order for the Romney, Perry and Cain cuts is optional. I'd look at the cuts and see how they play together, and make the decision based on that. Second criteria would be to get Romney up front since he'll last longer than the other two. :D

I like the first Romney "You do exactly..." better than the second one.

Like I said in the script below, I'd drop Santorum. His quote is long, he's not a major player, and it breaks the flow. YMMV.

================================================== =======================

(Visual: Ron Paul standing alone post-debate 2007, while other candidates glad-hand each other; pensive music under)

VO: Four years ago, Ron Paul stood alone,

(Fade to 2007 picture of him sitting alone in room with pensive look and debate shoes on during next sentence. For a snappier version, intermix some pics of sneers and jeers from other candidates before landing on that shot.)

VO: Alone in predicting the impact on America of too much government, too much war, too much spending.

(Visual: 2011; candidates lined up to shake Ron Paul's hand, post debate, music trends upbeat - never did find this video. Need something else to go under the following VO.)

VO: Today, Ron Paul leads the pack, as candidate after candidate recognizes reality -- four years too late.

(Visual + Sound: Other candidate in recent debates: "Ron is right, Dr. Paul is right, etc, etc.)

Candidate praise section. Money shot with Newt, followed by other agreements.

Two options on the Money Shot: I prefer the Federal Reserve one myself.

Newt praising RP for tackling the Federal Reserve 1:34 - 1:45


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP9QRpzUPbQ

Newt praising RP for overseas base cutback proposal 0:17 - 0:27

CNBC Republican Presidential Debate at Oakland University from MOXNEWS at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YONIQyHRha8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YONIQyHRha8)

I guess the best quality would be direct from CNBC, but the timing should be the same.

Romney: "You do exactly what Ron Paul says" 0:51:39-0:51:40 (Pick this Romney or the one from the next listing -- either one works)

Romney: "Congressman Paul is right on that" 00:01 - 00:03

Perry: "Congressman Paul, you're correct" 01:22 - 01:24

Cain: "I would agree with Representative Paul" 58:58 - 59:01 (and the rest of the statement for longer version)

(Optional, I'd say drop this next one, it's long and Santorum's not that important, plus it stops the flow)

New Hampshire CNN Debate

Part 3:

Santorum: And the commanders should have a system of discipline in place, as Ron Paul said, that punishes -- that punishes bad behavior. 12:20 - 12:28


VO: "Ron Paul: One message for 30 years."
fade to:

RP: Clip from 2007 - "We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."

Fade to Ron Paul Logo/RP big smile pic; vo text above? applause from above clip fades under VO.

VO: Ron Paul - Right Then, Right Now, Right for America

Oh, the Ghoul's attack in 2007 is classic. "I've never heard such a thing" or something to that effect. There's a split screen of Santorum and Paul that's priceless too, and just the facial expressions in that one could be used under voiceover.

Thanks for the reminders.

CNN debate, Wolf asks everyone about the Federal Reserve but not Ron Paul who has been saying these things for years. The others mostly Perry parrot RP.

maybe i'll use the transitions on this video:

or i can just not have any overlays or fancy transitions. just crossfades. i dont know if it detracts from the message to have fancy transitions. also it makes it interesting too for people who aren't interested in politics.

Seapilot found a good example for #5. If that's not long enough, we have pictures and videos of the candidates shaking RPs hand at the end of debates.

10) Pick any good, optimistic picture of RP, probably offset on the right. Put his logo across the bottom. Then as Right Then, Right Now, Right for America get VO, toss the text up there, one line at a time, top to bottom. Maybe slide it in from the opposite side from his face. Or they could fade in. Or blossom like little flowers. :D Whatever. :) The final result is an image of RP with his logo at the bottom and the tagline text left-aligned on the left side of the screen, one statement above the other.

[FreeTraveler]

Possible end-shots of RP.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHH4sH9DELw

thanks everybody!

[FreeTraveler]

Hey, just a quick note, don't pass that link around all over the place. We'll have a finished version in a day or two and we want to push it viral then.

Hope you enjoy!

[Lord Xar]

When Cain says "I agree with Paul, NO!" -- I'd cut that No. Sounds like he is asking a rhetorical question.

Also, is this gonna be a "tv commercial"? Needs to be a minute, yes?

I also think there is too much Newt in the beginning, I'd use the most juiciest bits and transition between them fade out/in.. so you get the succulent parts.

[FreeTraveler]

Nope, not an official commercial. It's going to trim out to about 1:08-1:10. We wanted something short enough that everybody would watch it, not just the already annointed, and to make the points of his consistency and the others jumping on his bandwagon. We're hoping the final will be worthy of going viral.

Thanks for the suggestion on Cain. That's a good one.

And the Grinch is almost all good parts. It's a hard 12 seconds to trim, but Chainspell was talking about it.

[affa]

it's awesome.

right then. right now. right for america. == solid gold.

seriously. it's amazing.

[FreeTraveler]

it's awesome.
Thanks. :) Wait till Chainspell finishes working his magic. Like he said, there's still polishing to do.

[pauliticalfan]

I don't really like how Rick Perry gets cut off. "Ron Paul is absolutely correct when it comes to--" Either include the full thing, or cut it off at "correct."

[Tod]

Request: I hope there is a way to have two versions, one regular and one with subtitles for those who can't hear?

Thanks! Really looking great!

[ShaneEnochs]

I don't really like how Rick Perry gets cut off. "Ron Paul is absolutely correct when it comes to--" Either include the full thing, or cut it off at "correct."

This. The cut is very odd, and it causes the flow to stop quite immediately.

[FreeTraveler]

Bump for the morning crew. Don't spread this too far, there's still polish to be done before final release.

Enjoy!
