OT - Commercial Critique Needed

->> I am hoping to get some quick feedback on the following three versions of a commercial that I am working on for a client. FYI - this spot will run in concurrence with an 20 second ESPN Winter X Games spot. (http://www.vimeo.com/8524038) If you can please rate them from 1 to 3, with 1 being your favorite.

->> #1 version 3
#2 version 1
#3 version 2


The one thing that I would like to see is a 4th version with the soundtrack from version 3. The clip/closeup of the bindings isn't working for me. If you have just a beat more at the tail end of the first clip then transition to the second complete launch and landing I think that it would work better. There is just something too static in that binding shot. Maybe if he was sliding back and forth more to give the feeling that he was winding up for takeoff but as presented it just feels thrown in.

Sorry you asked.

->> #3 - 1
#2 - 2
#1 - 3

These were rated by me and 2 of my kids. I agree with Eric about the binding shot, I had to watch it 2 or 3 times to try and figure out why that was there.

I liked the soundtract in #3 and with it ending with the bell right when the logo pops up.

Hope this helps

->> Thanks Eric, Rhonda and Rhoda's kids! I am finishing up another edit right now for the same client and will play around with the binding shot, or lack of maybe. I will also mention ( in an attempt to bring some SportsShooter relevance into the picture) that this was shot with a 7D and a 5DmkII. In case anyone is interested.

->> #3 was the best... But the sound clip was out of order. Apart from that it's pretty nice.

Wish you'd had a clear day and good light to shoot with, but that's just one of those luck of the draw things.

->> Thanks for all of the feedback! Out of curiosity, Israel, would you rather the first tow sound bites be reversed? Or did you mean something else when you said the sound clip was out of order?
