Help me brainstorm.. Need to make a bf persuasive ad video for school

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I need to make a video persuading the viewers (my class) to be pro public bfing, anytime/anywhere type thing. It has to be from 90 secs. - 2 min 30 secs. I have some still shots and some facts I will have in the ad, but I am wanting to have some sort of scene with a mom and baby nursing situation and haven't come up with something I am satisfied with....

ANY suggestions welcomed!

Thank you

Do you have a mom and baby who can nurse on camera?

Some ideas off the top of my head. . .

I was thinking have mom sit on a toilet in a public restroom (probably have to get some kind on permission to take a camera in there) nursing looking disgusted and uncomfortable while there are toilets flushing in the background. Then ask something like "Is this where you want your children to eat?" Then show mom and baby peacefully nursing somewhere in public.

Or you could reverse the scenes and go for sarcasm. Show mom peacefully NIP, smiling at babe, people minding their own business, then say something like "How could she do that in public, she should do that in private!" Then show the bathroom scene and say, "yeah, that's better." (alternatively you could have a security guard come up and tell her that she's not allowed to nip and she needs to go to the bathroom, then you can bring out whatever laws your state may have protecting nursing moms)

I really think most people are much more freaked out by the idea of NIP than the reality. They picture some weird militant hippie mama waving her naked boobs defiantly around all over the place. So I think images of moms niping as just a part of their normal day w/o all the imagined fuss are very powerful.

What a neat project! Is there any way you could link us to it when you finish it?

If you think something funny would be appropriate you could try making cows or another mammal animal cover up with a blanket or eat in a 'bathroom' or something and then show moms peacefully nursing in public without making a fuss about it.
Have fun!

Maybe you could show what happens if you don't NIP (baby screaming his head off while a flustered mom tries to finish her shopping and she ran out of bottles or something and she's not "allowed" to nurse) and then show a mom NIP.

OR to play off the pp's idea, you could have pictures of normal people (teenagers, adults, kids, whatever) sitting on the toilet eating a sandwich.

People are always trying to make the argument (and a lot of nursing moms do it) that you should pump before going out to avoid NIP. Maybe somehow mentioning the silliness of making something so simple so complicated would be good.

You could also include historical pictures of women NIP...then go to a toilet scene .
