Spec commercial for Amazon - comments please (dir Alex de Campi)
Posted this, accidentally deleted it because I am a spaz, trying again. Watch, comment. My first spec, could use advice/pointers.
Cool, but it is not a music video.
my 2 cents
i thought it was good. nice shots and a good edit. love the booming up shot behind her. one issue i have with it is the look on the girls face. shes looking off camera with a smile on her face and it throws me off. i would have liked to have seen her interact with the confused library go-ers. Smile at them or give a look like "you old timers reading books, pshaw" idk. But yeah, i liked it tho overall
it was cool.. I would concentrate more on getting a good lead actress to, she def didnt sell anything. And not enough reactions from the other 2. overall I think when a spec spot is made it should blow people away and be something highly conceptual, or something so simple that the DODO's in the ad agencies wouldnt have though of, hence you are showing you creativity in your conceptual directing? andthis fell somewhere in between ! all the best tho
Great job Alex! I thought it was quite well done, and better than a ton of ads I've seen lately.
A lot of it says "spec", but the real killer is the end type. It's too large. There's not a single amazon commercial with type that big.
Also, the piece could use a color correct no...?
If the reviews of that shirt are to be believed, this spec will soon be purchased by Amazon, mysteriously turn out to have been shot in 3D, and be shown looping continuously for 90min in popular theatrical engagements.
the concept's very good, but the execution is bad. you need a real fx guy and mo glitter. besides, this ain't no mv.
