Come, Join the Crazy. . .

So I had to make a video for my computer class (last semester), the requirements were as follows:

Longer than :30 shorter than 5:00
At least one 'cut'
Music
Rolling credits
At least one 'effect'

But me, being me, I can't just leave it at that! So I went above an beyond, into the madness....

I made an Ad for a new CK fragrance, Cannibalism:

i like the music choice. it's really great, i like how you can kind of tell the girl is about to laugh at the end.

I'm glad you like it, most people freak out and ask what's wrong with me.

[sstormwatch]

That was... different.

[dkountz81]

lol, yeah, I get that a lot.

[dkountz81]

no, that was the Hershey's syrup. we used almost and entire no.10 can, but it looks enough like blood that we had people stop and ask if we needed help.

Okay... can I tell you how much I LOVE the fact that you used Trajan as your font. From a graphic design perspective, that's the biggest in-joke, as it's specifically known as "The Movie Font" because so many movies use it in their posters.

This is pretty fun, and I love the idea. The music is great. I think the whole thing would come off better if it was set in a bedroom with lots of clean white silk sheets and then the cannibalism... but that would probably be expensive and messy to clean up. I also would have played up the biting, nibbling, and other sexually suggestive things from perfume ads. But this is totally awesome :)

Yeah, there was a lot I wanted to do that we didn't have time or money for, but it was a lot of fun to film. We also shot the whole thing in one afternoon/evening.
The font thing is hilarious, I just love it because it looks like my handwriting (I have dyslexia and write in all caps so I can read my own notes). The fact that it's known as the 'movie font' makes the video that much funnier.
I actually kind of want to re-do it and take more time, you know, really knock it out of the park, but I don't have the time right now.
I'm really glad you like it though. I've never done a video like this so any feedback is appreciated.

I would totally pump up the sex and downplay the horror. It'll make it that much more shocking at the end :)

[dkountz81]

oooooooooooh, nice.

you know that thing that Bond bad guys do with their fingers when they drum them together? I'm doing THAT right now.......
