Do you remember when I said – only a week ago actually – that the person in the European Parliament, in charge of relations with the citizens had said that we needed to wait anxiously for the next video produced for the upcoming European elections?
Well, it turns out the wait is over. Here is one of the outstanding visual productions that will push the disgruntled potential voter to the polling booth in a jiffy.
You did not want to bother voting? I am sure you want to now! Your vote counts. Your opinion counts. And, if you click on the mystery face game ‘Guess Who?’ screenshot above, you can hear all sorts of insightful opinions from people that supposedly are just like you, but actually they are not, in a language that is not yours – but the subtitles are!- on issues you may know little about but should definitely have a view on. One in favour, one against. A bit like the video on the nuclear energy debate. The difference is that the latter is visually beautiful and made me think, whereas this one made me want to cry. I guess it’s all about sparking emotions.
Deep down, I am still hoping this video was not the one Mr Clark was referring to – as it came out 3 weeks ago and was produced by the Commission’s audiovisual department. Because, as someone said, “we must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope”. That, in a nutshell, is me and European communications. Thank you, MLK.
