Hey Everybody, Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!
I just uploaded 45 photos from my Directorial Debut of a Commercial entry for the Crash the Superbowl Contest.
I co-Directed with Buz Wallick (Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy Documentary) I had worked with Buz earlier this year on a project he Directed called WAX OFF, a short based on the death of David Carradine in Bangkok in 2009, that film was an action/comedy Starring Joe Pilato (George Romero's Day of the Dead fame) where I starred as an Evil Ninja Lord "Li Kong". It was well received at a screening last month and will head next to the festival film circuit. We hope to do a feature with these characters next year.
Back to the Doritos Commercial...
We Filmed at Harpers Bar & Grill in Tarzana California on Veterans day during an overnight shoot. We went from Concept to Production in 9 days and Concept to Upload in 13 days!
It is a 30 second spot using "Approved" Music provided.
We have 2 entries, one with an alternate ending, so far after 10 days we are in the Top 25 most views and getting some great comments. It was professionally filmed and edited. I was going to use my Panasonic HD camcorder, but we had access to a Sony X1 and Boom mic and went with that. The pics were mostly taken by my daughter Amanda who also played one of the Doritos dancers and at a table, I doubled as the DJ for the shoot, the blurry photos were probably taken by me...
If you would like to see our finished videos please check them out here. Enjoy!
