Hi all,
Here in the UK, Doritos (A corn snack kinda like nachos) ran a competition for people to come up with and shoot a 29 second advert for them, from the ads they've received five will go onto a public vote and they are chosen by a team of judges according to the ratings on youtube and other factors.
I decided to have a go for a laugh, shooting on Red, and roped in three friends to star in it (None of whom had ever been involved in shooting anything before!).
On the day we shot for about 4 hours and it was hot, dry and v exhausting, the location was treacherous to say the least. Trying to get your friends out of the house early on a Saturday morning after beers on the friday night or put down the impromptu barbecued food that cropped up in the middle of the day meant we didn't have much time!!! The budget was just over £50 ($100), so don't go expecting any masterpieces!
That budget covered buying the music, props and costumes. I did the edit in three evenings during the week after work and graded on the saturday.
I was the entire crew from director down to runner, and I was bloody knackered for it!!! It was a lot of fun though, beers, bbq's and shooting Red are a great combination! Everyone here should try it! (I only wish the weather allowed for bbq's more often here in the UK!)
Anyway hope you like it. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMsoV9wdAW0, click on the "Watch in High Quality" link to see a slightly better albeit still youtubified version. You can check out some of the other entries for the competition here: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=DoritosYouMakeIt
Cheers!
