Tongal Winner

Posted on June 30th, 2010 Written on michael's blog

Do you like this?

We just closed on a contest inviting filmmakers to create their own commercial spot for NYVS in partnership with Tongal.com

Heres the winner, by Timothy Swann.

We love it.

And it speaks volumes about the kind of talent that is 'out there' waiting to be tapped.

This ad is as good as anything you see on TV... maybe better.

And it proves the point that the democratization of video and its ramifactions go far beyond iReport and the occasional news piece - though that is where it started.

Ads are where the money is in TV

And agencies charge millions of dollars to do what Tim Swann has done on his own.

What Craigslist did to classifieds, I think, Tim Swann and his like are now going to do to the advertising business

Get ready for the next phase of the revolution.

This video is great. I think the descriptor copy in the back should be cleaned up to better describe what the NYVS is, but it's really a pretty well executed spot.
