Nintendo DS Lite Commercial

A commercial for an Onyx DS Lite. A young man is annoyed by the fact he has to wait for an Internet download to finish, but he notices his DS Lite and plays it while waiting.

This final version includes a new shot and tighter editing.

This was for a college project in which I had to create a 30-second commercial about something with some text effects. I came up with a treatment and storyboards for this commercial. Then I recorded the footage while directing my father for the last camera zoom out since I could not easily remotely control my camcorder. I transported the footage off of my MiniDV camcorder and edited it in Final Cut Pro. During the editing process, I created all of the text and logo effects in Adobe After Effects, exported them as an animation video, and utilized it in Final Cut Pro over my footage. I am very satisfied with the commercial.

This is going to take forever? Dude I download at 100 kbps and I don't complain.

Well nice add.

@NecromancerAdr That's a good point; I was just acting, but I'm actually grateful for those speeds. I started downloading that file because I thought it would give me a longer time estimate. What I could have done at the time was to limit my download speed via the router settings. Thanks for the comment.

@jade3605 It wasn't a Pokémon game; it was Phantom Hourglass.
