I shot a commercial for a friend who works at a restaurant around Blue Bell, PA. He directed it. (Working with kids is NUTS!!!!)

We shot in 24PA and used a dolly and handheld for most shots. It's missing two shots at the end: a shot of people eating inside the restaurant and the restaurant itself.

I found the time to color correct it and wow, did it make a huge difference. I keyframed the titling effect in Vegas 5. Also, I think i might add a sound effect to the visual title effects.... not sure yet though.

(Oh, and yes, I know the shots of the sky are really blown out... I tried to fix it in post, but failed to darken them to an acceptable level. They WERE brighter. I fixed them somewhat.)

Let me know what you think!

Yeah, I'm in the process of fixing that. I need to secure some webspace... I had it on a "free" site and aparently i can't have files on there that are accessed from another site, etc. etc.

I'll have it up by tonight I think.

Almost -- maybe I just got you when you were still loading... Couldn't get past the first guitar chord.

Sorry,

Actually, I think it's the site I'm hosting from. It's not premium (we're not paying for it) so it's slow ass downloads. If anyone has free space and would like to host it for me, by all means, please let me know!!! You can IM me (AIM) at SpyderViper2003.

Just bare with the download, I suppose.

This took forever to download, but it was definitely worth it.

An excellent commercial.

My two suggestions would have been, a little more light (highlights) on the kids faces, and add a closeup of the food (right after the girl sits down).

Also, I liked the music that went with it.

Otherwise, great job.
