Look at the trailer from "Cloudstreet" being done in New Mexico. In general it will be a beautiful film...but in one scene they make the same mistake: some guy who looks 80 yrs old with the nose tube....The message? - this sport is for geezers in plaid shorts who drive to the glider field in gold carts..... You have to get good looking, young people in these promo videos and jazz them up. Study the sophisticated advertising business. The Let's Go Gliding stuff is staid, boring. Even using the word "gliding" is a mistake - reinforces the get dragged up, waft back down impression. So much to do...
