Selfmade HTC One X commercial, please like it :)
 
I made my own commercial for the HTC One X.
There is a competition at my work for the best video for the HTC One X.

Too bad I couldn't use any N9 in the commercial, but hey.. it's just for the amusement

Share the video on facebook/twitter and please like it to get many viewers and help me guys!

Thank you everybody!

Funny commercial video:

Liked!

Not bad at all for a first attempt. Its a bit cheesy but it made me chuckle :D

The background music is good as well as the alert sound from MGS. For your first video I'd say well done! :)

1. Wrong forum. This belongs in "Competitors," not "Alternatives."

2. The video is nonsensical. Why someone just post a video of a crime to facebook, instead of just calling security or the police? It gets even sillier with "security: checking his facebook." Really? Did he post the video on Security's wall? Is the good guy friends with Security? If so, why didn't he just call. Seems to make a pretty lame case for a "smart"phone. In this situation, the "smart" bits are stupid and the smart thing to do is just call someone on the damned phone.

3. None of the features demonstrated, taking video, posting to facebook, or listening to Dr. Dre on Beatz audio are going to really impress any maemo users.

It's just a funny commercial for amusement... Not to be taken serious...

Its not to be taken seriously. Its for a competition at his workplace not made to impress this community.

@HtheB I saw this other video also, I'm guessing its one of your "competitors" :p I have to say I like his a bit more but I obviously didnt "like" it ;)

Yes, as it was a commercial/competition for HTC One X, we just took everything with the HTC One X

The commercial needs a better tag line, instead of "quietly brilliant" try...

"HTC One... Worth stealing"

Personally, I like it. It certainly has a more viral feel to it, being on a budget and all. The MGS reference made me laugh, would be nice to see more of that.

I would say get rid of the Jail scene at the end because we know he gets caught and it does not need to be shown what happens to him. The viewers can guess that IMO.

As for the mgs scene, maybe you could have a few more people turn their heads and take their phones out when they here the siren, as if to show them as drones? It would help to re-enforce the sci-fi theme and you don't have give everyone HTC's as they will be in the distance.

Sorry, I have just realised that is a whole re-shoot ;)

Actually, it's a no-budget video :p we didn't had any budget to make this video :D
About the title: I can't change anything about it :( competition rules..
About the camera and the jail part: the deadline was today, so I can't change anything about it anymore...
The jail part: it was just a funny idea to show the sad face of the thief :p

The only good parts were: MGS sounds, HTC ringtone on the end.

#1 - Camera segment, he missed the button several times
#2 - Thats not a jail, but I guess it'll do

...it just needs a better directoring, besides that it isn't too shabby

Yeah, I would not have thought the title change would not have been to the liking of htc ;)

I still liked it :)

Well, about the camera part:
He took pictures while he already was recording a video.
Yes, taking video WHILE you're recording :p it's possible with that phone... (Any way to make this also possible on the N9/N950?)

#2
As I said, it was really a no-budget video :p it's not a real jail for sure, but hey.. you get the point :D

please, like the video, NOW! :mad:
hahahha :p

At least it made me laugh :)

Let's add all the guards in a mall on Facebook! Also loved the Solid Snake sounds when he gets caught.
It's not the best commercial, but good for some laughs ;)

I really have to admit I found that video a bit repetitive.

HtheB, your video has a bit more sensation and action, I really had to laugh at that serious face of the guy in the "jail" :D
