In-flight safety video - thoughts?

Hello -

As well-traveled individuals who have most likely seen countless in-flight safety videos and demonstrations by various airlines, I wanted to know what you think of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Mq9HAE62Y&feature=fvst .

As a matter of disclosure, I work with Air New Zealand and value your opinions and feedback.

Thanks in advance.

BRILLIANT.

Coincidentally, someone at work just emailed out three videos from Air New Zealand, and I'm about to watch the other two.

Air New Zealand’s new commercial, “Our Fares have Nothing to Hide”, 2 Million hits on YouTube so far

Air New Zealand Staff have nothing to hide – behind the scenes (includes the CEO, Rob Fyfe)

For what it's worth, I live in Seattle and one of my favorite events of the year is summer solstice when the bike riders wearing nothing but elaborate body paint kick off the parade.

I believe these are commercials, NOT safety videos, big difference.

Cute commercials.

I love it! Leave it to the Kiwis to come up with an entertaining safety video. And those adverts are really clever. Well done.

Thanks, everyone, for the feedback and kind words.

Just to clarify, this actually is a safety video that will be used on ANZ domestic (NZ) flights on 737-300.

<b>Joe</ib>,

I stand corrected. I saw the other videos which are commercials. I just watched the safety video.

Cool video - finally one that shows it for real, and not those weird animations.

Just one remark on the Youtube site made me laugh a bit "Why don't they talk English?"
But, on second thought, it is indeed a bit hard to understand for international tourists, who have not been exposed before to the Southern hemisphere's versions of English
It is a sad fact in the advertising industry that you get the highest attention with humour and surprise, but the best numbers in recalls with boring repetition.
