Ah, but! Those are good reasons for boating in the Med, rather than for wearing lifejackets!

Hi everyone, nice to meet you all, I'm the guy who created the film(Plot twist I know!)
Its been quite entertaining reading through everyones comments, especially the strong opinions on some of them. I do take criticism on board of course so have read each and every comment. Unfortunately the film hasn’t pleased people on this forum which is a shame for myself to read especially as the usual consensus of my work is a very positive one. Film as you all know is an art form, a bit like a movie/painting/photograph, some will absolutely love it, some will absolutely hate it. Currently in other locations where the film has been posted, it's had an incredibly good response which is a far higher percentage of people that are commenting here.
I personally was set a brief and had an aim to show the connection between the Hotel and the Marina Platinum package. For some of you the ‘acting/script’ has come across too cheesy for you and outdated, fair enough. This kind of film with a younger generation wont appeal to everyone, but what I can say about the chap in the film to answer some of your thoughts on him.. he own’s the car, lives in a high end property and has multiple successful business’s. No he doesn’t own the boat, I'm confused as to why that matters because as most of you have pointed out, this is a film. He’s also a very well mannered guy and pleasant to get on with. The instant judgement on himself or what he wears, is really more of a representation about yourself more than anyone else. Two days before the shoot was to go ahead, the original male model who was of a older age had to pull out, the new model was good enough to clear his schedule for the day to step in, which saved us a lot of reorganising. He made a real effort and wanted to come across as a gentleman, good on him.
People commentating on the target audience I think are concentrating too much on the look and not what the package provides. This is reaching out to people who would like a premium experience on a berth, that being said, that may not appeal to everyone which isn’t a problem at all either. The look of the model isn’t at all supposed to offend anyone in the slightest, thats the absolute last thing any of us went out to achieve and I will hold my hands up and apologise if it has offended people because the film is aimed towards anyone who may be interested in the Platinum package and nothing to do with age or look.
It’s hard to please everyone and honestly a lot of the comments that I have read asking this and that, there is genuine and fair answers to. It’s easy to sit and have very judgemental views on a film, completely fair enough, everyone is entitled to an opinion and is right in their own way as opinion is subjective. What I can say though, is the film is purely aimed to bring attention to the new Platinum berths and the style of service one would receive. It’s a very exciting time with Ocean Village and its development, some people who are used to the norm don’t agree, but for many its a new and refreshing time.
I really do apologise to people who don’t like it and have completely taken the criticism on board, the film is continuing to have fantastic feedback else where so it can't be all bad eh!

I still maintain that the age of the dude has a lot to do with people's dislike. What is he, 23, 25? Who other than a footballer (who wouldn't be working in an office / using a computer so often) or someone running a scam would be living that sort of lifestyle?
Hi Solent 1 and welcome to the forum, a landscape full of tiny hills and nemerous folk who are all too ready to die on them, for most any reason....
Personally - I felt that the video was fine, it gets he message across, it’s well edited and given the locale, the end product is shiny enough.
Critics having a problem with wrong watch, wrong boat, wrong smile, no socks, punchable face and revolting sexualisation are probably relics who’d do better sticking with their daily telegraph at home in Tunbridge Wells and staying off line.
Of course, if the budget allows you could take a plural approach to content and create a second video which resonates with the majority of contributors to this thread, you’ll just need to find a late middle age, balding male on the edge of Type 2 and their less than completely invested other half, tagging along despite rather wishing her husband would take up golf like a normal man; I’m available at a reasonable rate but you’ll need to supply the Tag Heuer
Well done for the post and don’t let the buggers get you down...

Non sequitur: making people judge a book by its cover is precisely what videos like these are aimed at.Well done for coming forward to clear up a few doubts, I wouldn’t worry about the perfect few that have done nothing more than slate your add as they are not now or will most likely never be customers so no great loss here. It just proves that you can’t judge a book by its cover although many think they can.
