SynFX 1 Posted August 10, 2008 Does anyone have any ideas about putting together a quality commercial.. We have a production crew we work with on video projects, we just need some ideas on how to market this stuff locally. like... diapers companies use babies medicine uses sick people sign companies use.... ?

charlie_b CFXPaintworks 1 Posted August 10, 2008 I think you should do quick 5-10 second clips of everyday life in America while playing America the Beautiful in the background. Cheerleaders, Football players, Cars, Car washes, Fundraisers, and Parties. Then you fade out and in to an OTS(over teh shoulder) shot of someone weeding some vinyl. Then show what your sign company has done for all these clips. For teh cheerleaders, Zoom into their megaphones with vinyl lettering of school, mascot, their squad, and their name. For football players, zoom into the decals on their helmets. for cars, Zoom into their custom Graphics. Fundraisers, zoom into their fundraiser banner. Parties, zoom into the room deco with various cartoon characters on the walls of the room. Then in the end, fade into your sign company's logo. Maybe even animate the logo. Then with a voice over, say "Sign company X...We help America look good." Anyway..just a thought. I would not mind Story boarding this for you if you commissioned me to do so. Anyway, this is my idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kctrader 10 Posted August 11, 2008 Just remember most commercials are only 30 seconds. You want to get your name and phone number in there for most of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
