Great, that's the advertising sorted, now if you can just open up a worldwide network of dealerships who know what they are doing...

Good job Firebase... You have a flair for the advertising world... Too bad I don't do commercials.

On a side note, did you get screwed too with the theft of those VA records ? I did... I can't believe that sh it... They have 26.5 million vet identities. SSN's, fathers name, mothers maiden name, date of birth, location of birth... Everything someone would need to get a replacement birth certificate, then drivers license, then passport, then who knows what...

f ing idiots...

Kind of cool, but...

As a professional in advertising, design, and film I have a few comments.
I did enjoy the effects, but not long enough. I didn't like going back to the red. The text should have been overlaid on the scene itself so we could really see the crossfire. I felt like you really didn't get to see the car and there should be at least one shot of the spoiler raising. It's got cool effects and it's above and beyond what you'd expect to see in a forum, but when it comes right down to the real world of advertising it wouldn't be effective. It is a great start but too quick. Also as cool as the visual effects are..what's the point of the cutaways?

There has to be some actual point to it otherwise you confuse viewers. It also takes your attention away from the crossfire. Cool effects though. Shows skill.

Any new commercials for the Crossfire would be good. No marketing and they wonder why they don't sell.

By the way I think there's one in Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. I distinctly saw one as an extra in one shot. We'll see.

ok, i'm confused. is it sitting at the curb or at the curve? tyeguy07 didn't see the curve. neither did i. i do see what looks like a curb right behind the crossfire though.

besides the curve/curb issue it looks pretty good.

but keep in mind that chrysler has spent quite a bit on advertising the crossfire. how many audi tt commercials do you see? s2000, slk, z4, boxster, etc. i rarely see any of these cars advertised. but i have seen a reasonable number of crossfire commercials over the past three years. these cars are supposed to sell based on sports car publication reviews and visits to the showroom, not a tv ad blitz. i'm not sure how profitable the crossfire has been for chrysler, but i'm pretty sure an advertising campaign of the magnitude some think the car should get would result in chrysler losing money while not selling that many more cars. that's why chrysler is trying to bail itself out from its overproduction mistake through the use of promotional consideration (papa john, shell, bob barker). it unloads the extra inventory and doesn't cost nearly as much.

I knew your video looked familiar! http://media.putfile.com/4400- Watch the whole video, the best part is at the end.

Buggy4 - That’s right... and the sound of the engine I took off a NASCAR site, and the Red I stole from the start of the video 4400 and copied it twice, and then I split the only footage of the Crossfire into the Red, editing out the part where the Crossfire fades away until it is gone from view, that was the tricky part... As for the very end I took that from a Crossfire site, or took it from someone’s private collection, then I placed the words at the start "Even when it's sitting at..." and the words "It's still moving at 150..."... Rounding out the video. Now if I can get my hands on a few seconds of a police officer with a radar gun I'm going to cut, edit, and produce another online Crossfire ad... you got a problem with that?

What do you think I am a production company? I edit video Brother, like people make mp3's... besides that Brother you got something to say, say it, what's your point...Hooah

Now settle down and take some DEEP breaths. Don't need you popping a vein in your head or something. All I said was I knew I saw the video someplace. A little high strung are we?
