ISU Football "Proud to be One"

/ Comments (7)

Nice promo ad for ISU football by Applied Art. Great shooting. Our only complaint ... you need a better voice talent! Was James Earl Jones not available?

It's executed well (minus the voice talent) but this commercial just doesn't get me excited, or inspired.

This on the other hand, gets me excited: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAcKiMy0Gp4

Now there's an idea ...

Beautiful Visuals.

Applied does great work.

Can you elaborate on your response, The Des Moines Egotist?

Certainly. While the spot is technically well executed, you are right, it lacks an energy that pumps you up so much, you're willing to drop a hundy or more for tickets. If you could bottle the energy and emotion from the post-Nebraska impromptu-speech, you'd have something. ISU's problem is they don't want to sell the experience and atmosphere (like the lovable loser Chicago Cubs), but would rather sell a tradition and competitiveness (like Notre Dame, Texas, Nebraska, even ... dare we say, Iowa) that they just haven't proven that they have .... yet.

Well put Egotist, well put! Thanks!

I agree with Sheena and The Egotist, I am a huge ISU fan... but nothing in this commercial will make me stay awake. It is almost like the guy is reading a bed time story to me and the video is good but where is some hard hits or fans showing they are really pumped for this! There was some just sitting there by a van and they looked like they where falling asleep to the guys voice too. I want to see some hard hits or awesome fans that know what it is really like at a game not just sitting. I am sorry but they have to get away from just tradition.
