Karl151k's Adfest Entry

One of the few I watched where I said I could see this on TV.

The sound certainly needs work, but overall an excellent entry. I enjoyed watching this.
 
Thanks Jeremy. Since I shot it with a digital camera, I was able to output the file as a 1080p file easily. That helped give the spot a clean-ish look.
 
Yeah, you could totally outperform Red with that thing. Of course you'd have to ask the actors to move really slowly though.
 
Hey Carlton. Great work. This was another of those where I felt I was watching a prime-time network spot. My co-hort Aldo does stop-motion and claymation as well and we appreciate just how hard it is to do well. VO work was top notch IMHO also.

Excellent entry. This was one I voted for. Thanks for sharing!
 
I liked it. I would have liked to see a product though.
Professionally done. Looks and sounds legit.
But, you didn't sell me anything.
Still, I give it a pretty hi rating. Everything's there but the product.
If you had of sold a toy , maybe clay, plastercine, playdoh...
Very well done though. Congrats.

-I watched again and tried to convince myself this WAS about plastercine but...
 
I wish I could make it a commercial for Plasticine. That's the best stop-motion clay out there. Unfortunately here in the USA, all we have that matches Plasticine is a clay called Van Aken. It's ok, but it doesn't have the same consistency as Plasticine and it melts easier, which is a bad thing considering all the hot lights needed for filmmaking.

Thanks for the comments. I suppose this is more of one of those "framilarize the consumer with the product" kind of ads, rather than a "buy this product" ad. =)
 
Cool spot! Judging by the two shorts of yours that I've seen (this and you SpyFest entry) you like to try and do something that no one else is doing. Major points for that. I'm not sure how wide-spread these commercials are, but this style reminded me of the Optimum commercials that I've seen lately:

And I really think you nailed that kind of presentation -- but with the added benefit of fun clay-mation :) I liked it! Nice job!
 
Thanks for the youtube link. I hadn't seen that before, but I agree that the similarities are there. I wouldn't be surprised to see a "real" commercial sometime soon that uses one of the myriad of ideas from DVXuser's AdFest entries. (After all, this is the world wide web and one never knows who's watching the entries).
 
Yo Carleton. You're in my top 3. Number two akshly. Right after my own spot at #1 :D. I'd give you a #1 if you shot all that on one of your pinholes, but you went digital. Sorry. The digital world is quite unforgiving (zing!)
 
Do I get "posthumous" points for having considered doing it via the pinhole body cap for my D80?
 
Well you have only considered it. Pff. I considered shooting my ad on 65mm and starring Ben Affleck instead of my friend. So what?
 
At least now we both know how to shoot our next projects. I have to do a painstakingly long, frame-by frame clay animation project using only 120 slide film and an f/200 pinhole. And you... have to work with Ben Affleck.

(JK Ben, after Hollywoodland, you've been reinstated as a real actor.)
