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:​)

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!

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

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.

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