The photo has a real "war room" feel about it that works really well.Disclaimer: I was (and still am, really) opposed to blacking out the site for political reasons.

As usual, you don't find everything until you go live ;).As I shot them both. The top one was a media of the day. The bottom one was just hours before launch.Personally I'd lean towards using the photo rather then the video. The video has a bit of a "celebration" feel that turns some off (we're celebrating shutting down our site etc.) including both staff and community from the time. While that feeling is certainly not universal (many still feel it was a celebratory moment) I'd lean away from it if possible.James AlexanderManagerTrust & SafetyWikimedia Foundation(415) 839-6885 x6716 @jamesofur
