Honestly, I was looking for something positive to say about it.
Maybe I should rephrase..... it's executed well from a visual standpoint.... everything else blows
And until you mentioned the name, no one else did in this entire thread (checked, before any other editing goes on). I had to watch it twice to grab the name. The job of marketing is to "sell" you the product and while we're all talking about the video, NO ONE has been talking about the pedal. So, from a marketing standpoint, it fails. Nothing of that video made me say "Wow, these guys at Walrus Pedals are cool, I'm going to check their website out and find out more" which is the point of marketing, especially when you're making a demo.
From the OPs original comment about watching something that is more about gear in general, it's great! I was more interested in the artists they were highlighting and the ways those guys use pedals over anything else. They could easily turn that into a 15-30 minute documentary on the artists and what they do, have them use only WA pedals, put something in the credits about Walrus Audio (maybe put a website in there so people don't have to hunt for it), and I'd probably check them out AND THEN say "Oh wait, the pedals they used in the videos were theirs?" At which point, you would then be on their website, wanting to find proper demos.
Would've been a much more clever marketing strategy.
