... showing a cute little pig before it is butchered ... o the humanity. almost as bad as showing a yeast infection before it is cured.

Here is the reality - You eat animals.
The thing is, this is a product for a very niche group of people, who in fact want to know where their food is coming from. For the mass consumers that are so removed from anything real - this is bad - because they dont want to know the truth. I really think its okay to show the animal. Showing it being killed is another thing. Because no one finds that tasteful. But its still up for debate wether or not to show the animal. I say show it.

what are we commenting on? nothing too special about that video...just looks like basic editing really.
- Just what you think of it... Nothing about the editing.. I was wondering if people would be offend by the pig shots.
Claymantis - oh got it.dbloc

to the flip side ... everyone knows where meat comes from. I do not think it strengthens the message, actually weakens it. If this is a holistic / organic message ... just say it.
Has it been tried without piglet?
- Yea its a little dry without the piglets...Claymantis
- i would assume so. add some eggs and buttered toast. you are golden.dibec

Offended... no one should be offended (if you eat bacon and click a link that says its a bacon advert), just seems odd you cuddling the piglet.

what about the actuall processing of the meat in a creative way instead of showing a little piglet running around.
- people really don't want to see the cute side of bacon.dbloc
- ... like a yeast infection. you just wanna know it cures it.dibec

This is awesome! Pretty funny and actually very odd. I would assume this is some sort of dry humor ad. Cause no one wants to see someone holding a baby pig like its a little baby. You are humanizing the little piglet when cradling it and showing it to the camera like it's a newborn baby– just my take.
- I cradle my bacon like a newborn baby and show it off before I eat it. Don't you?monospaced

None of your comments are valid. He was asking the cats what they thought about it.

Hey cats!

Hey man it's cool, but the first shot of the filthy pig standing in slurry, looking thoroughly depressed, with flies buzzing around it, doesn't scream 'I'm into bacon'
- Yea its true. That's a rare breed. That's why we showed it. But it doesnt do much for the video. Thanks for the feedbackClaymantis

I like claymantis he takes a shot, the video is cool but perhaps a little fast in the last quarter. Also the shot of the person holding the piggy... not sure that works very well.
Longer shots of ginger piggies they are cute, and so tasty. I'd be tempted to lose the shots of people as they are of no interest, and lose the shot of the butcher holding the pig at the end. At the moment it seems like some hipsters have gone to the country to kill some cute animals.
All the nice establishing shots of the environment etc. all good, just lose the road trip feel to it.
My opinion feel free to screw it up and feed it to the piggies.
