DVD Cover Reviewer Quotes

video777 wrote on 11/27/2008, 12:42 PM

I am wrapping up a project and would like to add some quotes. Why? Because they look so cool and every DVD I own has them. For example I have "Truly Magical!" The problem is I don't know what name to put for the quote. I heard many people say things like this after the performance (it was a magic show). I don't really want to just make up a name so I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this.

In past projects, like weddings, I would put something like "Inspirational!" and then attribute it to "Family and Friends." Tentatively on this one I attributed this quote to "Audience Member."

I know this is an unusual request and your ideas are appreciated.

The name that has been used in the theatre for decades to fill in a line in the program for an as-yet to be cast actor is George Spelvin. Critics wishing to remain anonymous also us this name from time to time. Works for me.

George S.

You could also just use initials.

If you want to see if your audience is paying attention, try something like "F.D.R." or "J.F.K."

With the power of those three little dots, "...", you can also make a poor review look a little better. You could turn something like:

"The quality of editing is one of the best reasons to stay away from this movie. You won't see another like this EVER!"

into:

"...one of the best...EVER!"

Finally, don't forget to give it a rating:

Thank you. We ended up calling someone who saw the show and asked for a quote. Since they didn't say it exactly "right" we "helped" them. It actually looks good.

I appreciate these suggestions and will likely use them in my projects.
