As long as it isn't those cheesy politically correct "Team Super Friends" type of ads... :-X

Edit to add:  I hope they are like the ad for the Ukranian Army!  ;D

 

[geo]

Considering that we are, once again a war fighting army I expect no less than an Advert that stresses what we do...

 

[jollyjacktar]

They did film some of it on HMCS St Johns in Nov/Dec last.  My counterpart there did not say what they did for the ad, but I know it was a couple of days in total of work.  I expect it may be more of the same type of stuff on the current ad, Navywise.

 

[geo]

There is after all, a limit to how much the ad can contain... considering it's either 30 or 60 seconds long.

Should be interesting to see what they have produced this time. They just made one last year, so I am surprised that a new one has been made already.

I saw the new ad on T.V. about an hour ago. It's along the lines of the previous 'Fight' commercials but focusing on distress and domestic problems. SAR Techs and Rangers head towards a crashed plane somewhere in the Arctic. I really like how they are doing this ad campaign, there is very little sound so everyone in the room focuses on the picture and what comes next. One of my roommates said 'its got to be a new movie', and all I could do was smile and let it play out.

I just saw the one where theres a drug raid on a ship going on......

 

[Mike Baker]

Just saw one for SarTech. Really good IMO.

 

[karl28]

              I saw the SAR Tech Add  and thought it was done well .  I  would be interested in seeing the others sounds like they have more than one in mind . 

 

[Maelstrom]

If you go to the recruiting website, www.forces.ca , you can see the minute long ad. It's the two put together, SAR tech and Naval drug bust. Seems like they broke it down into two 30 second spots for television.

 

[dwalter]

I love those new videos, I think they are just as good, or even better as the other fight videos. Also, the new website is pretty awesome.

 

[geo]

I saw the SAR / Ranger rescue of a downed aircraft last night.... no words but - hits the spot... I liked it.

 

[Mike Baker]

In my opinion, I liked the way the site was before, because it was a lot easier to navigate, but the way it is now, I can get use to.

2- Halifax class shooting a harpoon missile at something
3- CF-18s straffing HMCS Huron
4- Combat engineers destroying a bridge

6- Infantry doing whatever the infantry does
7- Artillery battery in the middle of a fire mission

Etc,etc, etc.......

I'm sure that those would be some amazing ads. I too would like to see some like that.

Be careful, these kind of ads might make some people believe that the army's job is to fight.

Can't have any of that. We are the Canadian Forces - we hand out Canadian flags, lolipops and sing koombye-ya.

Looks like recruitment ads are back to mediocrity...
