thanks

 

[Álex Montoya]

Very nice: Only thing that bothers me a bit is how burnt the window in the "cake" viral is. Didn't you have ND gels for the windows?
Would you say in your experience that the dynamic range was good?

 

[Brandon Fraley]

i really like the "aunty" one

great looking stuff

 

[Mathieu Ghekiere]

Hilarious commercials!

Athough some shots were a bit soft and went out of focus (sometimes it disturbed me a bit) and I think they could use some color correction to make it more pop out.

But very nice! REally funny!

The room for the cake clip was 2 stories up. No time or budget for ND's. 3 spots shot on one day.

[Mike Prevette]

[Justin Kirchhoff]

Freaking hilarious. Nice spots.

 

[Rudi Herbert]

they have to be specs...don't think you can get away with "using" kids for such profane things in this country anymore, but yeah, they were great

 

[Rick Darge]

They're not specs. They're viral. A lot of companies are doing this now, saying and doing things you could never get away with on the old ancient TV.

I love these ads by the way. This is def my favorite stuff shot with the Red so far.

 

[Mathieu Ghekiere]

Sorry if it's a stupid question (English isn't my native tongue either so), but what is spec and what is viral in the context you guys talking about?

Thanks,

 

[Obin Olson]

First ad is the best commercial I have seen in MONTHS! 2nd one needs work. Can't have a weak punchline with the kid tugging at the camera.

Maybe a baseball bat to dads nuts and then walk off?

 

[Mike Prevette]

Sidderke,

"Spec" is generally a spot made without permission or endorsement from the client or ad agency. Usually done for the reel of a production company, or young director.

"Viral" has come to mean a spot that plays outside of the normal TV/Cinema channels. The term comes from videos that get passed around on the internet because they are entertaining, not because they are forced on people.

 

[Floris Liesker]

Fun virals.

 

[Rainer Fritz]

great work....

 

[Alexander Nikishin]
