About

What’s your favorite brand of potato chips? Cereal? How about your favorite pair of shoes? Chances are, you’ve seen a commercial or advertisement that lead you to want them. Well, now’s your chance to make a commercial for the brand or service you love the most. We’re going to make a 30-second commercial after learning the tricks and techniques the pros use to make you excited for them.

We will dissect commercials to figure out what makes a good one. Then, we will:

• Choose a brand and find out what they’ve done in the past
• Storyboard a new story
• Pull together the elements needed to create a video
• Shoot what cannot be sourced
• Edit visual effects, special effects, audio, and video to bring it all together
