Good job dude! Thanks for putting it up here! I really like the shot of you both looking into the back.

Thanks Matt! Really wanted to put this up here since the week of deadline. Tons of other entries were also submitted and had thought about not getting in the way. This was my fifth Doritos/PepsiMax commercial, the previous 4 were from another filmmaker.

Originally planned for 1-day shoot, but had to redo a couple of shots (or almost all) due to lighting problems. ND gels all over the entire car, and a hood mount that's meant for large camera setups (not your sticky pods). The script called for a 4-person ride, but 2 didn't make it last minute and other crew members were unavailable due to other commitments. Just the three of us were hammering out all the stuff. Turned out a bit differently than what I had intentionally wanted, but exceptionally successful for my first time. Lots of lessons to learn. Much thanks to everyone who helped out for this on a last moment's notice. The VO was literally done at my church the day before deadline.
