The Tropic of Capricorn (Chips) - Doritos Advert Competition (Original Rhyming Lyrics)

This is my entry for the television commercial contest currently being run at http://www.doritos.co.uk

I'm still experimenting trying to find a film format that retains a decent amount of clarity at YouTube.

The source file for THIS re-rendered rendition is my first Quick Time Export. The settings are 30fps, 640x480.

A 12 fps Streaming Windows Media version can be viewed externally at :

The clip was created by adapting the assets supplied by Doritos. I cut the supplied royalty free music to the required 29 second length, altered the tempo, wrote and squawked the words and textured the yachts' sails, animated banners et cetera.

The Canvas on the dancer's shoes is made from the design on the "Cool Original" packet.

The Salsa Saucer is a bad UFO joke referencing the fact that the winning advert is to be broadcast into outer space.

I'm ALL ABOUT THE WORDS (and should probably have made some subtitles) so here they are:


The Tortilla Flotilla's a Larder Armarda,
Where Corn Chips have borne ships,
There's no PLAIN sailing,
If it's flavour you favour, a saucer of Salsa,
Will float your boat better than balsa wood could.

It's Doritos,
The Fleet knows,
Can keep them on their toes,
In our dream the Sour Cream jives with the Chives,
Watch the Dorsal endorse all and force ev'ry morsel,
To slip and skip into the Dip.

Mark your barque with an erudite bite !
