A 30-40 year old man wearing an army medal looks in the mirror. He sees himself as a child, growing older and older at an accelerated pace, finally morphing into an old man, then a corpse, then finally a skeleton. Then he turns and we see a close up of his face; there is a tear in his eye. Pan out, he is looking at photos of his deceased family members, childhood friends, and army buddies.
He turns to the table where there is a cryonics signup packet. He dramatically reaches out and touches it (it is distant, and he is barely capable of reaching it), at which point there is a lightning flash and a glimpse of a cryonics dewar. Suddenly we see a young boy wearing the same army medal. He salutes, and smiles.
I think this advertisement concept would be more effective if the man became, say, twenty-five instead. In other words, still quite young and full of potential, but not actually losing something, or being rendered helpless by youth. The idea of him being turned into a little soldier by cryonics struck me as creepy.
Here’s an idea for a commercial I had:
