I can contribute voicework and help with audio editing if you'd like.
Forget the video, you're doing *great*, epecially at 15!
Maybe a long one with everything you do.
A medium wih 4-5 (this wlii be your "Bread and Butter")
A whole bunch of litle ones...
I love the idea of 3 diff voices!

Eh.. no sound? Any 2 year old could make these.
Right, because 2-year-olds are noisy, and like noise.
The ad targets are not 2-year-olds.
Suggestion for audio:
Several different voice actors (maybe 3) saying a simple phrase (with confidence and sincerity):
"I use bitcoin".
The voices should be very different for example, a women, perhaps an older person, and a teenager.
Might be better if this was with video. That takes good talent though.

I like them except the part at the end of "Bitcoin is a success because of you" as that would only apply to people into Bitcoin and thus not really the target of the commercial.
I may have busted out a complaint right there but that is because I know people tend not to be good critics and just bash, and honestly, you are not giving people a lot of material to work with, these are honestly turning out really cool imo, that one line is the only thing I could think of that didn't sit right, and hell, that is just my opinion, screw it.
I want to see these ones covered now.
Mom/Mothers
Dad/Fathers
Charities (you have that bonus of anonymous donations that people love that can be worked in idea wise)
Do I make it for the organizations or for the people donating?

I can easily add music. And they both have sound effects.

Couple suggestions
1) A little more sound design - I can help with this, if you need it (PM me)
2) The ending would be much cleaner if you had a nicely rendered, simple bitcoin logo with the a link either to bitcoin.org (welcome to the community) or a specific URL designed to be a landing page for people who watch the vid, and want further information.
Idea:
What about going after more specific niches, and doing a bunch? "Bitcoin is for students... Bitcoin is for Mothers... etc." Maybe either a picture, or more than one line of text should differentiate between them though - its a bit sparse currently
I just don't know where to get them I checked google for unwrapping gifts but you have to buy them
I am having trouble finding sound effects for buyers I am going with "consumers" instead of buyers btw
"Oh Cool!"
"gotta have it!"
"Mmmmm"
"Oh Oh Oh"

I couldn't think of one, but after reading that, I can imagine the word "Consumers" flashing by with a girl all giggly "oh cool!' or "gotta have it!" .. not overacted or anything, just a pleasant female voice that you can tell likes whatever it is she is about to buy.

Good point on no music what so ever. I think the sound effects are the key if there needs to be any audio, that change sound with those words in the merchant one felt right

My suggestion is to have one with 3-5 categories. You can also have them split into single categories too.
I also disagree with the "because of you" stuff.
Maybe something like "because of thousands of people like you"
Oh and Please edit your first post and put the long current version in it.
I like the silly sounds, I would avoid music because we all have such different tastes.
EDIT after a few more views.
"No matter who you are" should only be on the big one with multiple categories
"Merchants bitcoin is for you" and "Travelers bitcoin is for you" would be more appropriate on the little ones.
Good Job!

I am making some without music right now. Think it works good that way. I'm going with what Jaime said.
I just don't want to use a copyrighted music. But some copyrighted "epic" music would sound great.
Try looking at music from http://www.jamendo.com/ - that's all Creative Commons licensed, so you should be able to use most/all of it for your video (without royalties).
here are three segments of more or less what i was thinking - gratis. feel free.
note the lead line (your excellent one) - which ties into all the other ads. a memory-jog for viewers...
note also that the trailing line (yours again) reinforces the memory again. good ads are remembered...
...because they are repetitive, without being pedantic.
