Exciting Insurance Commercial

[_JD_]

Well, it's actually not particularly exciting unless you love seeing 1920x1080 footage down-rezzed to 720x480.

Shot with HMC150 and Rode shotgun going into the camera. The score is original done by my friend Pete Thornton with a little input from me.

I'm pretty impressed by how the footage looks after downrezzing.

Any suggestions for making the shot better are welcome.

that's a really nice compression. Watch that your insurance logos and possibly the man's title are in title and action safe. Some come close to touching the edges. Also, I'd put a countdown on it. That's pretty standard for commercial production.

Thanks for the tips- I'll reduce the logos and move them a bit towards center.

if you resize to 720x405 it will keep the widescreen aspect ratio

Thanks- Comcast requires the 720x480 for broadcast.

Nice image, I wasn't keen on having the audio split though. The vocal was on the left channel and the music bed on the right? is this normal?
