Video - Our First Commercial
Posted 2 months, 2 weeks ago by loltim

This week I was requisitioned to make a short commercial for Gamervision.  Apparently this ad would appear on a video during a rather popular DotA tournament.  So I was excited about that.  Then they told me it had to be under 15 seconds and completed in under 24 hours.

You might be saying, "That's not so bad.  It's only a 15 second spot."  Well you obviously don't understand all the planning, coordinating, preparation and other synonyms that go into making a short film.  Also you probably weren't aware of how lazy I am.  ...Not to mention on how far behind in GTA IV I am. 

Anyway, the staff and I put our heads together and came up with this little gem. 

 

The original cut here turned out to be 8 seconds too long.  So I also put together a shorter and family-friendlier version for the tounament.  Both can be embedded from you tube here (longer) and here (shorter).

Thanks and props go to Sean and Paul who were invaluable both on set and in the editing room.  Plus it was Sean's fridge...and food....and magnets.....

Funniest short ever.....love the magnets at the end, I think I accidentally ate a few of those as a kid. I set off metal detectors at the airport all the time.....
