Spec Commercial

[Chris S. Alexander]

Hey guys. I shot this spec (mostly) for fun and (partly) to use for my reel. I would love to get some creative feedback. There are a few issues with it that I will be remedying in the next couple of days when I have time. Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I came up with the concept about 6 years ago and I had it on the back burner until recently. Originally he was only supposed to get hit by one wave, but the fins made it difficult for him to wade through the water and he ended up falling many times, so I decided to put some extra falls in.

Nice job, my only gripe is that i feel like the word rental was used too many times, I don't think they use that in the commercials, I could be wrong though

Yeah, I agree with you. However we did actually rent all of the free diving gear and it did have sizes listed on everything so it would almost look worse (IMO) to say that he "purchased" the gear. I understand what you are saying though. Our VO guy sounds like a robot every time he says "five dollars" so I think we're going to vary the amounts slightly so the inflection is different. Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate it!
