I think explaining the road imagery is important and should be
included. I mean we need to answer the "why" this stuff needs to be
fund somehow and that has always been a good hook.

Only need to reference / keyword once.

I'm not sure that "free from limitations" gets the point across.

Free and open needs to be used only once and explained in a near by
sentence.

I would focus on two of the three or comma separate. This is the real
meat, maybe cut the cat around it? Don't reuse keywords and get it to
to like 30-45 seconds.

Otherwise, I liked the one you sent initially. It is pretty solid but
will take a fair amount of animation to make it look good before
attention wavers.

That being said, if this launch is really targetting
the people who have been watching us for years, then this audio clip
may make a better impression.

Thoughts?

Use the tagline here, "Crowdfunding for Public Goods".


I really do like the longer version and think it might hit home with
the long-term supporters.

Mray, what do you think could be done to illustrate it?

Wolftune and chreekat, be safe if the weather kicks up!

I liked the left hand side of each of those drafts with a preference
toward shirts-diana.
