Crash The Superbowl! Doritos new commercial contest

dude! I cannot access youtube here at work, what is the title of your spot? So I can view it on the CTS site

I thought my job was bad! I don't get out of here til 3am my time. Our facebook and tweets are firewalled but our YouTube is still open. Thank God or I would go crazy up in here watching everything off my iPhone :badputer:

My CTSB is called "Doritos Crunch with a Bang"
Here's the link: http://www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/video/1558/

Color correction not done,
and the jump cuts at the end are intentional
check it out let me know what you think.
 

aaaaaa hahaaaa... yes I saw that one last night as I was going through them.
that was a good idea!
I like it.
if you haven't uploaded the revised one yet and if you allow me to make a quick suggestion, if you have
the option to maybe add a quick little "swosh" sound effect when he takes that last chip it would be cool.
good luck with it!
very nice.
 
Lairhair- I just saw yours for the first time. nice. really nice. The look was fantastic. I am officially jealous.
Luis- I saw yours a day or so ago. I thought i was great then. Very funny. Chicks and hits. Nice stuff. I am officialy scared I do not have a chance. ( and thnkas for the tip about a sound efftct, I think i will give it a try)
 
no prob man! that's what we are here for, to help each other out.
Thanks for the compliments. I was thinking of uploading a color corrected version of my Doritos video but I might not because I have another entry that I shot,
and I'm hoping I can have time to edit and submit it tomorrow since I also work Sunday and Monday.
Tomorrow is my only hope to get that other entry in!

I'm definitely with you 100% on Lairhair's video. The look and color is great.

I'll come back and post once I upload that other entry.
But I have to warn you... As my kids would say; it's really corny.
It's like that stupid ridiculous comedy that is just so stupid that
you have to laugh not because it's funny but
because it's so stupid you can't help it! :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

And to top that off, I'm in it! :shocked:
well..., talk to you guys later!
I'll be back......:Drogar-SunGlass(DBG
 
I like Corn.
And I am in our vid. I am the guy getting his chip stolen. I hate acting. I am no good..hehe
 
I also posted in the HMC150 footage Sub Forum, but that was kind of buried so I guess it can't hurt to link it here:

Glad to see other people are having fun with this - I have good things to say about everything that I've seen from the forum users.. just hard to wade through the other 900 spots that have no concept whatsoever or shot on Hi-8 (or camera phone?)
 
I just uploaded mine tonight. Yes... it actually got done after the counter ran down. We'll see if it gets accepted. (Fingers crossed.)

I haven't had a chance to check out everyone else's, but I will as soon as I have internet faster than dialup.
 

very nice job!
good luck!

sweet! I would be upset if it didn't get accepted due to the counter running down halfway through the upload. They take about 2 days to email you and let you know it was approved and posted.

About checking out everyone else's, I was doing the math and it would take over 15 hours to view all the ads submitted. It was something close to 1,900 ads submitted!

Submissions are over, but they are still processing videos and posting them to the site... over 3,000+ now!!!

Here is one that I helped on. My friend needed help on set. It was a good time.

LOL! OMG! Good stuff Ryan! it looks great!
I can't believe that there are now at least 3,493 submissions!
Imagine having that many for monster fest:eek:

I resubmitted my first one again after a few repairs, and I submitted a second entry 4 different times because of 4 different songs. The second entry is the one I had mentioned on here before that was the corny one.

Here's the second Entry (Classical Version): http://www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/video/3647

Oh yeah and here's a bonus! (extended edition of the second submission)
(just for giggles not submitted): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_uy_lEKOc0

enjoy!
 
Guys help us out ...


We submitted our videos in apple pro res HQ 422 (shot HVX200a) and Doritos is telling us they are having trouble viewing it. This is our second time we've had to resubmit and we only have 1 day left to submit it thru the backend.


For those that shot it in HD, how did you export it ???

What was the frame size they wanted ?


None of this is posted on their website and can't figure this out.

Thanks

I shot HD on my HVX200A. Provide as many details as you can and I will hook you up.
First question - What are you editing in?
 
One of the formats listed on their website was .avi
which is how I submitted mine.
I exported to a 4x3 Standard Def .avi so that their encoder wouldn't squeeze it and it has the black bars on top and bottom which looks great on their site.
Size-wise, mine turned out 106MB. Render time was about 45seconds.

Another thing.
On their site is says that if you submit a 16x9 to be prepared to have the sides cut out and converted to a 4x3 but they actually did not do that.
They squeezed them all which makes some of them look horrible.
That's why I deciced to go 4x3 like a lot of the high end spots submitted on there.

oh! I just noticed you said "High Res 422" so I'm assuming your on FCP.
Export your file to, well....
I just copied this from their site:

4. What types of files can I submit?
The video file size should be kept at or under 100MB for quicker upload/encoding time (max file size is 500MB).

Additionally, files must be provided in one of the following file formats: .MPEG; .MOV; .AVI; .WMV


With that said, encode your file to "Quicktime" and select H.264 for your encoder,
4x3 / letterbox
maximum quality and if you shot in 1080i, make sure you de-interlace.

if you can open and view the rendered out file in your quicktime with black bars on the top and bottom in a 4x3 size then you should be good to go!

Here is our submission. Not one of my favorite projects I've worked on. Also, I found out some time after submitting that it almost exactly copies a Cheetoh commercial!!! But I haven't been able to find it!! We weren't even aware a commercial like that existed when we started on this production. Kind of a bummer =( If anyone could find a link to it, I'd really like to see it!
