New website invites you to "Verspoten

Patrick Helfer (29) has launched a new website, VerSPOTet.net. The aim is to invite users to present their own reinterpretations of commercials. He was inspired by commercial interpretations he discovered on Youtube.com, where existing commercials are dubbed to create a new soundtrack. Dubbing is successful when the storyline can be placed in a completely new context. Helfer's target audience is people from the advertising and communications industry. He is convinced that it is exciting for them to see what happens to their own ideas.
There are already some advertising clip parodies online, including five reinterpretations of a CASHdaily commercial. These were found and uploaded by Helfer himself. In future, however, users should send him the videos they have created or found themselves. If they meet Helfer's quality standards, he will post them on his homepage.
Helfer, who works in the IT sector, runs the site as a hobby. "If it becomes a great success, I would consider reducing my job in IT so that I have more capacity to manage the site," explains Helfer. Whether the site will actually be successful is questionable, as it does not yet have a "look & feel" that invites participation.
