[Music] 

Rick Perry (voiceover): We're in beautiful New Hampshire, the Granite State.  Granite's tough; it's durable, just like the people who live in this fiercely independent state.  We've been to Concord, Manchester, Dover, Portsmouth--meeting with locals, learning about what's important to them, what they care about.  It's snowing, it's cold, but I'm fired up.

Rick Perry (to camera): Live free or die.  Amen.

Rick Perry (clips from speech): We will be there standing up for freedom no matter where it is, economically, militarily, and if we have a Congress and a President that respect that then the greatest years of America are in front of us.  Are you ready to send that message across this country, that New Hampshire is about living free or dying?  Are you ready for that?  God bless you.  Thank you all for letting me come and being a part of this today.  [applause]

Rick Perry (voiceover): Love you...


Notes:  NH Journal's John DiStasio described this as "the first campaign-style digital ad of the 2016 cycle."  It includes scenes from Perry's Feb. 11-12 trip to New Hampshire interwoven with a variety of B-roll clips, such as views from the plane and views from the car as they drove around.  It is fairly typical of the "candidate on the road" genre, but nicely structured and a bit poetic at times.  The video starts with voiceover, then Perry direct to the camera ("Live free or die.  Amen.") and finally clips from Perry's speech.  The scenes from the car driving in the snow and dim light as Perry in voiceover states, "It's snowing, it's cold" capture the scene well.  One sees a number of familiar faces including Mike Dennehy, Karen Testerman...
