In class we had to make a commercial and edit it ourselves. They gave you a list of 10 items and then you had to come up with the concept, camera shots etc blah blah.
Here is the one we did, its pretty funny I think. We chose Playstation 3 randomly because everything else was pretty bland (car rental), i had a few ideas but i think this one was the best. the message is 'get better hobbies'. Its just a bit of fun. I didn't shave especially.
-
also the new aqua song is out
-
ahaha i liked it but there's a few issues
-you're the boss in the commercial
-sniffing seats is a better hobby than playing ps3
you look the most professional, your chair is higher and better, their chairs have their backs to the door. there's a few other quirky things but i think they're to be expected with your equipment/actors.
on the whole i think it's pretty good. what paper is this for? are you meant to be using any special techniques or anything? also looks like you've put on a bit of weight...
-
It's for Media Practice, nah its just basicially editing techniques and stuff. Haha the camera it....it just puts on the pounds. Nah its mostly from drinkin', being a student does that to ya.

continuity: the ad begins with you drinking from a glass and setting it on your right side, but it is then shown to be on your left side
also i just showed paul, he's at massey, he said he thought it was a real ad but it may have been sarcasm.
-
I quite liked it. Probably better than real PS3 adverts notthat I've seen any.
Thanks for the heads up on the new aqua too
-
I liked it, however I didn't like the idea that he (you) weren't embarrassed by your actions and just shrug and continue, kinda toned down the humor for me, but it was a good concept.
-
it increases the humor. it's his hobby, they had already caught him, he probably wasn't going to get the job. you would expect him to be shocked and lie or something but he just goes with it, it's funnier.

haha man how did you even notice this, i can barely see the glass in the second shot.

Hey there! No problem at all :happy: glad to be of service!

yeah this, the whole point is that he has already been caught so he's already not gunna get a job, initially you can see that he is a bit shocked and then he is like 'meh too late now' and resumes enjoying himself.
also should i send this to sony in hopes of getting free stuff
-
it'd be cool if you got a free cease and desist order. is that aqua song set to the tune of 'At Seventeen?'
also i'm using a massive massey screen i could see how many drops the glass had left
-
I remember seeing an actual advert that had this same concept. I can't remember what it was advertising (saw it on Tarrant on TV). The only difference, is that the man sniffs a womans chair. I was wondering whether you had got inspiration from this.
Anyway, the advert was not bad, I would probably try to improve the sound a little by dubbing the voices in a dry room becuase there seems to be a lot of background noise. But yeah, thats technical jargon. Nice effort
-

Nah put it on youtube with the name "BANNED ps3 advert" and see how many people say FAKE and how many people say OMG they always ban the good ads

And nah I just made it up, I haven't seen any adverts with the same idea :sweat: I don't even know what Tarrant is!
Yeah that's technical stuff we couldn't really help too much. Climbtree is right about continuity though.

haha this is actually a good idea, ill wait til it gets more views.
-
sorry bud but the older bald wayans with the sitcom already did this
except it was with the little daughter which made it absolutely hilarious
this is good too though
-
That was bernie mac.
-
haha, I don't have sound but it's pretty funny regardless
did you do any speeding up of the video to give it a cartoony look or is it just the jerky youtube video
lol you look all pervy and stuff though it's awesome
-
no it was def the bald wayans the one that played with adam sandler in that movie where he's a cop with a metal plate in his head
that dude
-

-
New Aqua song? YES!!!
-
I mean yep thats the show
-
mateui is probably being serious

mateui is probably being serious
I am being 100% serious. Can the days of bubble gum pop be truly back? I hope so! (Apart from being wacky and cheerful music, I love the fact how it annoys so many people. Just part of the appeal to me. :laugh:)
-
I'm with mateui on this
-

It sure did Afura. I did a backflippe. :fogetbackflip:

Ok, so I felt bad about hijacking this thread a little bit (you encouraged me Afura!!) so I'll comment on the commercial:
- I couldn't understand what everyone was saying. The sound was kind of low and everyone spoke quite quickly. As someone who doesn't hear a British accent everyday I couldn't catch everything because I am not used to that manner of speaking (although I do like the accent).
- This goes back to the point above, but I didn't know that those two guys left the room (I must have missed the line about them leaving to discuss something). Perhaps showing them actually leave the room would prevent this confusion.
- There really wasn't an overall storyline. Yes, it's a 30 second ad, but I think it could have been executed better. Why is the company doing badly? The commercial starts of with that being pointed out, but doesn't give a resolution to it - other than the boss being kind of mentally unstable... What are those two guys going to discuss???
- Anyway, the chair sniffing was just so random (but that's the point of the ad), but I would have accentuated it with having the beginning of the commercial start out as a one on one with the boss and an employee, having beans for lunch, and discussing company business. The employee would then excuse themselves to go to the bathroom, and then the commercial would play out the same way (minus one actor).
- I felt that the third guy was kind of useless. He was a horrible actor, hiding behind the door after not being able to contain his laughter. Obviously you guys aren't actors but that guy just ruined the commercial for me. You were pretty good.. very slimy. Nice!
-
mateui's just a troll. never watched a single episode of survivor.
Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.

it's an interview mat. "well mr anderson, your cv sure does look impressive. please excuse us for a second while we pop out and discuss things." the guy in the dark shirt can't stop laughing at the beginning of the commercial but at the end it's the other guy who goes behind the wall, so Dark Shirt Guy's purpose is to spit out water
i think Other Guy in Light Shirt's dialogue is the weak point of the commercial, he is unsure of his lines and he delivers them without any sort of personality. continuity also hurt ya. i like your kind of sly dwarf look. i don't know why it is dwarvish but it is
-
So... how did the chair smell?

hahaha......... Americans. :rolleyes: I've never even been to England.
Everything else was fair enough but it was just an assignment also don't forget. Nothing too professional.

yeah agreed, we didn't notice that until the editing stage. its suprisingly hard to not laugh and you can kinda tell he stalls a bit as he is making it up on the spot.
also it was my own chair we changed the chairs around in the next scene. so i am sniffing my own aroma not someone elses!
-

:welp:
Maybe that explains it. The accent was made up so I couldn't even understand most of it.
-
fuck it i just can't tell if mateui is trolling, it's just so weird.
mateui since when do you troll?

:welp:

he is a kiwi from new zealand so in many ways it is a made up accent
