DB Thank-You Ad Copy Ideas Go HERE

Penny Century · 03-20-2004, 02:43 PM

PF made the point that test copy and other ideas for the DB ad are getting lost in the increasingly serpentine main ad thread, so let's have a place that's just for text.

Kas already has gotten a photo deal lined up, so don't worry about that here. Just concentrate on what you want the ad to say, and how.

Remember that ST is pretty much just hosting this whole thing and making certain resources available for campaign use. It's up to the DB fans to keep the ball rolling and make the command decisions, so post your (or someone else's) ideas, and see what takes shape!

All the ideas~

By Damn Skippy:

In appreciation of
Angel’s

David Boreanaz

Thank you for gracing us with eight years
of your talent and devotion to your craft.
You’ve shown us how it’s done.
We won’t forget.

Here’s to a lifetime more of memories.
We’ll be watching.

*********************

"This guy is Joe Professional, and loving and kind to people he works with.” -- David Greenwalt, Executive Producer, Angel, Miracles, Jake 2.0

The Man

"He's got a kind of power and a kind of scintillating burning quality in his eyes; he's got a spirit of play in him..." -- Sean Astin, Lord of the Rings

The Actor

"He's like a rugged old-fashioned movie star- If this was the 1950's, he might have changed his name to Rock" -- Marcia Shulman, 20th Century Fox Executive

The Star

[and then some simple copy to end it with, for example...]

Because of who you are,
Triple threat takes on a whole new meaning.
Because of who you are, we don't have to wait for "the best to come." The best is already here in you.
Because of who you are, we thank you and wish you good luck.

We'll be seeing you...

By SETJE:

A tribute to a man that gave so much to a fanbase grown out of a weekly television show.

David Boreanaz gave us eight years of joy to watch that little screen. He gave us moments of happy feelings ; laughter ; tears ; drama and excitement.
For some it was for the looks , the charms and the chocolate eyes , but for all it was for the talent and the art he had to give and share.
Putting aside the wings of a vampire with a soul , he will leave us all with a void.
We wish him all the best ; a great future and a promising career.
May angels look over his shoulder while he walks down a new path and may this THANK YOU ad give him a smile on his face like he has done a million times to his fans.

Thank You David for everything.
Bless your heart.

By Halo:

Angel, you've taken us to Heaven..
now we want to see you
spread your wings and fly.
And we send with all our blessings
our thanks to you in sharing
a soul so beautiful
and forever stay alive!

By Angel's Avenging:

David you have been an Angel, who has taken us to Heaven.
We send you all our blessings and thanks for sharing a soul so beautiful.
You have given us memories that will stay alive forever!
Thank you!

"Thanks David for 8 years of outstanding work.
We look forward to enjoying your future projects.

By Psychofilly

Thank you David Boreanaz.

Thanks for being such a hard working, upbeat, gorgeous, star that shines both at home and on the screen in your dedication to your family and your craft.

Your smile is unforgettable.

Wherever your future takes you, your fans will follow.

(it could also be your face is unforgetable, or your style~ whatever)

Am I missing anyone?

Kas · 03-20-2004, 06:09 PM

OK - I'll have a go. Pull apart/ignore at will.

--------------

"He's got a kind of power and a kind of scintillating burning quality in his eyes; he's got a spirit of play in him..." -- Sean Astin, Lord of the Rings

And we, your fans, couldn't agree more. We have watched this power and spirit lead to unforgettable performances over the years.

Thank you David for all the memories and we look forward to seeing where your path will lead next.

----------------
Too flowery? No good?

Florrie · 03-20-2004, 07:35 PM

Not too flowery at all, imo. And only one quote, definitely.

"He's got a kind of power and a kind of scintillating burning quality in his eyes; he's got a spirit of play in him..." -- Sean Astin, Lord of the Rings

And we, your fans, couldn't agree more. Over the years we have watched this power and spirit lead to unforgettable performances... (and...? just for the rhthym)

Thank you David for all the memories and we look forward to seeing where your path will lead us next.

-----------------

Added in 'us' to will lead next. As in, 'we will follow your career' without needing to say it.

ETA: Just saw Becky's contribution - love the simplicity of that one too. Oh, choices, choices.

Angela · 03-20-2004, 09:00 PM

I think this is a great idea, and I'm all for it.

I like the simple copy, for the most part, although I do get a bit of a tingle with the quotes aligned with "The Man", "The Actor", and "The Star". That was nice.

LaLa247 · 03-20-2004, 09:22 PM

Just shuffling things around:

The Star

"He's like a rugged old-fashioned movie star- If this was the 1950's, he might have changed his name to Rock" -- Marcia Shulman, 20th Century Fox Executive

The Actor

"He's got a kind of power and a kind of scintillating burning quality in his eyes; he's got a spirit of play in him..." -- Sean Astin, Lord of the Rings

The Man

We have watched this power and spirit lead to unforgettable performances over the years.

Thank you, David, for all the memories and we look forward to seeing where your path will lead next.

I feel like we should add something more to the bottom part, although I really like it.

Okay, I'm tired so bear with me. But something about this sentence irks me, I think it needs restructuring but no way I'm tackling that now.

Second, I like the Star, Man ECT set up and agree that it needs a bit more at the end.

Just some quick thoughts...

Okay one take at restructuring really fast since I'm here:

We have watched David's strength and spirit create unforgettable performances over the years.

Thinking since it's a Thank You why not use the man's name rather than calling him a man at least. LOL. And too bad we probably can't call him charasimatic without creating more stupid fandom wars.

LOL I so agree! I was gonna try to revise it and add more, but then realized it would've sucked, so I leave it to the professionals.

Love the smile line in this. For what it is worth I also love the Sean Astin quote as it seems to embody what DB is all about.

Penny Century · 03-21-2004, 01:24 AM

I like the Astin quote a lot, but I'd suggest identifying him as "actor and director" rather than with a ref to LoTR. Everybody knows Astin was in LoTR, and to imply that that's how he knows DB might come off as a little disingenuous. And personally I'd rather show the Astin-as-director connection in the context of this quote. (Hey, someone who's directed DB thinks he's All Dat!)

KarKar · 03-21-2004, 02:45 AM

I'm a little hesitant about the quotes myself. Sean worked with him on one episode and he doesn't have the cachet yet as a director or star.

Nor does the casting agent make me think of him. It's more about his appeaerance and not his acting ability. Yeah it's all part of the same package but he may want to do 180 or go indie for awhile. I don't want to hint that he's just a throwback or something.

I think I would prefer something short and sweet from us but with minimal "Angel" references. Something more like Damn Skippy's about what we think of him.

BTW, I like that last one of him that Kas just scanned. Not to "Angel-y" and it looks recent.

gegirl · 03-21-2004, 03:20 AM

Hi guys, would just like to say that I think this add is a beautiful thought.

ETA
I have retracted my text ideas as I would like to keep them for myself.

I'd be gratefull if they weren't taken into consideration, I have my own personal plans for them.

Good luck with your efforts, as a fan of Angel and DB i would like to extend my appreciation to all those involved in this campaign.

I know David will be thrilled with your final decision.

Florrie · 03-21-2004, 03:38 AM

Hi gegirl

Thanks for joining in!

This looks to be from the same photoshoot as the other SFX shots...He is still on the veranda... the suit is more detailed being a larger scan, same black shirt and hair length/colour

*stumbles in LOL

haha I see a nice new shinny thread - COOLIES

what about a JW quote - do we have that JW quotes

Love the SA one but I would pref. to use a quote (if we use one ) to be it from a Ats more involved person.
