Keepon on YouTube

This is fun! I saw this on Wired Science and the idea of a sophisticated robot that has music and some facial recognition just blows me away. How far we have come!

Commercial....60 Second

Sun is rising on a country farm....music plays in the background, the usual flute la-de-da. Rooster crows.

Camera goes into bedroom window to a man in bed waking up, yawing, then throwing back his blanket.
(Music up tempos, muted rock song)
He leaps out of bed and takes a shower in futuristic looking bathroom. Coffee perks on a timer and breakfast pops out of the microwave.
"I am so ready for this day" he says, munching on his food.
He opens the door to go outside and there stands a deer with a flower in its mouth, with lots of different species of animals standing and dancing behind, all singing Celebrate(Rare Earth).
"I just want to celebrate
another day of living
I just want to celebrate
another day of life."

Camera pans out to include the whole house, showing solar panels, recyling bins. water tank for sun warming, hybrid car.
Camera pans further out to space view of Earth clean of pollution.
Music continues to play...Voice in "Saving the planet starts at home."...pan out.

Commercial Spots....30 second

Darkened room……..in a house anywhere. A nondescript teenager picks up a snowglobe and shakes it. She winds the musicbox part and it plays “America the Beautiful”. Closeup of her face through the glass. The globe contains a pastoral scene, animals, green grass and trees. She says "I remember.." in a dreamy voice.
Girls face turns sad. She sighs, walks over to a table and sets the globe down. She then walks over to a window, pulls aside the drapes and looks out. Camera pans to the outside and shows desert sand, dead trees and animal skeletons. There is a single hand pump at a well with hundreds of people lined up with plastic bottles. Armed guards hold guns at ready. A faded broken-down sign says “Welcome to the Great Smokie Mountains”

Man’s voice over “Global Warming is Real. It is up to you to change the future.”
