Air New Zealand is known for its innovative safety videos. Back in the day, the airline would typically release a couple of new videos per year.

There should be subtitles.
They should speak slowly and clearly.
They should get rid of the unrealistic and distracting scenes. Use a real plane and highlight what is being described or use a clearly drawn cartoon.
At the end of the video, there can be scenery, fluff, and music.
I find all these novelty safety videos to be super cringe. Just give us a briefing in clear, calmly-spoken english with a demonstration of the equipment. Nobody needs all this fluff.
I think you underestimate how much today’s audience need to be entertained, otherwise they’ll ignore the safety video and go back to TikTok.
Forget another new video, PLEASE get new uniforms. They must be the ugliest uniform of any airline.
You're spot on. They are the ugliest uniforms ever and that purple gives me a headache. And they are far from flattering for the crew. Give me a little more style!
The problem with these “entertaining” safety videos is they are twice the length of a conventional video. BA’s is particularly tedious.
These novelty videos are about as fresh as planking and the ice bucket challenge. Get to the point. Make it short. And get this plane off the ground. We don't need to be 'entertained' for our safety.
I think airlines need to go back to the basics and copy JAL.
In terms of providing safety information their video is the best. It is no nonsense, succinctly provides valuable information, and speaks to the Japanese culture of community.
After watching it I understood why no one died during the A350 collision/crash at HND.
Actually some people did die
No one died on the Airbus A350
5 people died on the coast guard plane
