My girlfriend's company made this vid in lovely Central America. She helped with script. I think it's pretty funny and more impressive than Miller's band.

Is it time for the Annual "Save the Blog" drive?

You bring more joy to my life than a dinner at Morton's.

Great video. Let me get this straight though, your girlfriend's company made this from Costa Rica? Where did they obtain a computer capable of creating such video and audio effects? They must have outsourced this project to the US, no?

I love the part "only to find youve been replaced by a guy named TJ". That made me LOL.

Ill try to follow the Frog, but I dont really grocery shop. That is my wife's job. Yikes, jk, I didnt say that.

My girlfriend's company is an international one that tries to save land from destruction and not sell it, like, uh, real estate? (Wink)
There was collaboration from CR, Nicaragua and of course, the mighty "we're the best forever!" stars and stripes.

Easy to insult CR when you've never visited. I'm pretty sure CR is in better financial shape to purchase MacBooks for video editing than your recently visited Greece.

I do my own grocery shopping.

Sorry for my late response. I give the spot an "A."

I have a lot of respect for this video and I think it's very well done. I recently shot a commercial, and I was amazed at the amount of money, preparation and attention to detail that went into a 30 second spot- never mind a 3 minute video. AND, this piece actually clearly communicated its message in an entertaining way. No easy task.

I'm guessing the budget for this was close to half a million dollars. Kudos to Yesi and her group.



And, I am not sure where Kevin was going there, but I can understand why Adam did not receive it so well. I once made a wisecrack about CR's education system that was wholly inaccurate. I was deservingly called out as well.

Im just going from what you tell me... "Green gate, right hand side. Second and a half world. Next to goat who says Crabtree"

Good to see that Boobs won in a landslide in the poll to the right. Who is The Ass Man? My guess is Chambers.

The Bear said...

OH and dont you ever again talk bad about countries I visit, that is a massive insult!

Butz said...

I like how Faust gave kudos, just so he could throw in that "I recently shot a commercial."

Does anyone have any ad spots about narcissism?

Z-I-N-G! This blog is ALIVE!

Adam said...

Maybe I overreacted, and you're right, I feed the "I live in World 2.5" thing, ie green gate, right hand side (my actual address) and that I get paid in bananas (just 10% of check).

Girlfriend's company is legit and I defended Latino-style (crazy overdramatic). Sorry for insulting Greece. There are computers here. I'm on one. It was made in Japan.

I love boobs very very much.

Adam said...

I will tell Yessie that she got the Faust commercial stamp of approval. Budget was $15K, and 36 barrels of bananas.

Chambers likes tall women. Miller likes breathing women.

Butz said...

I was the ass man, but to be fair, I thought the survey was about dudes.

Faust said...

Here's the commercial I shot.

Stellar video.....I will follow the frog


Brown said...

Wow, I approve and I have never shot a commercial...although I doubt there is much to and think I could bang one out this afternoon.
