Callaway "Diablo" Commercial

[Jerrod Cordell]

I just finished a commercial for poptent.net's Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Commercial Assignment. Let me know what you guys think.

Shot with the Canon XH-A1 (couldn't afford to rent a Red One this time), edited in Final Cut Studio 2, and graphics done in After Effects. And this was my first time using After Effects, so be gentle.

Ah, reminds me of two things...

1> That I need to buy a new driver.

2> It takes a lot of balls to golf the way I do.

Ha. Jeff the first image that popped into my head was you playing golf while suspended from a helicopter over an active volcano trying to line up a putt.

Now that would take a lot of balls to play!

 

[Priyesh P.]

ehm...

 

[Jerrod Cordell]

ehm...

Care to elaborate?

Lol the golf from a helicopter would be badass.

Im guessing you have been learning AE from Andrew Kramer. He is a legend. Next time, try blending your effects shots into the live action rather than placing them on top.

I wanna play golf against the devil. He wouldn't be able to score if his balls keep exploding.

Hah! Yeah I wouldn't have been able to do any of those effects without Andrew Kramer's tutorials. Luckily the way I imagined the effects was pretty much how he explained them, so it worked perfectly. He even gave me permission to use his street debris from 3D Studio Max and I just changed the color to green.
