Simple Commercial: Weight Watchers Lips
Here’s a simple commercial for Weight Watchers, right? Shoot a bunch of closeups with a model and you’re done. Check it out. Well think again. The longer piece below gives you a true understanding of how incredibly complicated this commercial was to make. I shot a lot of so called “table top” up close work […]
Read PostOne Tough Spider – Comedy Commercial From Mentos
Great comedy commercial because it catches you off guard. Guy goes to ‘take care’ of the spider. and the spider takes care of him. Gotta love it. Funny, simple and memorable.

Here’s a funny SNL sketch from this past Saturday’s show (1/7/12) hosted by Charles Barkley and Kelly Clarkson.

Happy New Year friends. Sorry to take so much time off but things got crazy in December. So here’s a new 2012 comedy campaign that impressed me in the last few days… it’s for Direct TV. I call it pushing it to the limit because it takes a simple premise and it keeps running with […]
Read PostGreat FedEx Golf Commercial
Here’s a funny, ‘comedy’ commercial made by Fedex for the Fedex Cup. Real simple, real funny. Nice clean and simple commercial. In classic tv comedy style the commercial manages to squeeze three jokes out of one by their being unable to disable the computer. Great stuff.

Read PostOut of the Box Fund Raising Video: Stroh Center
Now here’s something fun and different that was created to commemorate the new arena at Bowling Green State University and to thank the major donors. It’s a fun fund raising thank you, that’s well done. A nice music track helps power a good filmic execution. Could it be better? Certainly, but it’s clever, and creative […]
