Here's a link to a swimming goggle promo that I have put togther, open for any comments / crtisism to make it look even better, the voice over to me could do with being changed but the client likes it.

Open for comments and thoughts

Hey Johnathan
I'm liking a lot of the footage. Theres some really tasty shots in there! Not feeling the VO though, both from a delivery and recording point of view. Music should be rev'd up a bit to and make this feel more dynamic, at least in certainly places.

Jon: My Mac did not like that page... DSL, but still, a dead slow loader. I only stayed for a few seconds, but the voice over sounded like an art historian. If she had medals from the '76 Games, I would show her face and the medals. Of the three water sports I do, none from one sport would 'listen' to the other, unless they were also directly involved. Intensity breed insularity.

Totally agree regarding the voice over, but it is in fact one of the clients staff members and they really don't want to spend any more money on the project. To be honest I am nearly at the stage where I will pay for it to be changed.

Also point taken about the music, I will definitely look at that,

Thanks guys,

Jon

Jon: I've been away, but you must have a swim club nearby.. We call them 'interns' over here but they are typically, eager young people who work for chips, samples and resume chits.

Stage a casting call at the local pool and have the 'willing' read a few lines .. 'till you get a decent - free - voice. Cheers.
