The Making of My Slusho Commercial - Cloverfield

Check out the finished commercial here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiuzaGF36A8

My daughter, my niece and their friends worked so hard as actors that I thought they deserved more props. None of us are pros at this and they did a GREAT job putting up with me. THANKS GUYS!

i gotta question... what type of file is this? .mov? .avi? .mp4?

[reagan88]

It's a .mov file. I edit in Final Cut Pro and export most movies in this format. It is native to Mac and I have had pretty good results posting them here.

[IANofGRYFFINDOR]

i do the same but the files end up being too big... i dunno.. i gotta figure out how to compress them better... is this 10 min video a .mov?

[reagan88]

Yes, it's a. mov. I exported it from Final Cut Pro as a "quicktime movie with compression" on the "broadband-medium" setting. I wish I was more familiar with "Compressor" but I haven't had enough time to learn it. Or maybe I'm too lazy...yeah, probably too lazy :)

pretty good resolution (particularly after encoding to youtube), did you use HDV of HD?

[reagan88]

SD. Just a little consumer camcorder. Turned out nice though.

Hey Tom how's it going. I dont know if you remember me(It's me Jhovanni) but I attended the Wonderworks Workshop for 2 summers.(2006(you gave me alot of techniques in Directing that semester for "So I'll See You at Seven?", and in the summer of 2007 ,done in one day "Whispers"). (I remember I used Riley and Darbey on the video.) Wow, they've grown from the last time. Its good to hear you're competing in Houston and getting awarded for your work.

[IANofGRYFFINDOR]

thanks! that helps! i gotta try medium... i also am too lazy to learn compressor..

[iPodGameNerddottube]

Final Cut Pro is Sweet! I'm getting it soon

Two minutes in, and I thinks it's on par with the commercial. Great Job! with the finished product, BTW. My favorite of the five finalists. Congrats on winning. I hope you actually get the prize.

You did take them to see Cloverfield, right? Your treat. At least!....

Nice Job,

hey, tommy boy. i'm a little disappointed that i was not asked to appear in this production (this is luke talking). WHAT THE HELL, MAN?! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!!

p.s. my favorite part in the commercial is when it says "homemade of course." it's basically like "tom kelley doesn't have money for a foam kite."

p.p.s. when do you find out if you won?
