    Hi,

    Just made this slightly saucy little video for the NHS dentists in the UK to try and get 18-25 year olds to get their teeth checked...

    Thoughts?! Would it work on you? Bear in mind that it costs about £16 to see a dentist in the UK for a normal check up.

    Grand. Bit long though, could be a lot shorter and still get the same message across.

    I don't think it would be appropriate for an ad on terestrial TV in the UK, but it's not bad all the same.

    i like the bit at the end :)

    Might have missed something here...

    but isnt the point of a viral video is that you dont actually advertise the product/service?

    (checks wikipedia)
    A viral video is any video that's passed electronically, from person to person, regardless of its content.

    ooooooh.

    huh you learn something new each day. Sort of puts a wet towel on the whole notion when its defined so simply. I thought it needed that element of irrelevence to convince people to share it without making them aware they are doing the marketing departments job...


    On the film itself, yeah its a bit long you could have put together three different shorter bits using the sequences you shot that would have been easier to spread around to different demographics. I mean the sequence in the mirror is a viral ad all on its own.

    Ha ha ha! Brilliant!!

    Might be a bit TOO racy for prime-time TV, but it'd definitely grab your attention!! The bit at the end when the vamp is trying to brush his teeth is hilarious!!

    Good job!
