Maximilian Schmige Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hey my fellow board members! I am a film student at the University of California Santa Barbara. The Film and Media Studies Department presents a short viral video competition sponsored by the Creative Artist Agency and Harley-Davidson. Each film was given a budget of $1200 to make a film about the new Harley-Davidson lifestyle. All ten films are competing to win $5000!! My film "How To Direct A Commercial" is one of the videos. The film takes a comedic look behind-the-scenes in the making of a Harley-Davidson commercial. You can watch the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahPPquv1JBg And the entire film with the voting option here: http://www.filmandmedia.ucsb.edu/announcements/harley-thanks Thanks for checking the video out!!

Nick Mulder Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I get tired of the dry talking heads mockumentary genre and to a certain extent this one is yet another in the looong list of them I've seen - seems like (actually I know it is having made one) an easy format for film-makers themselves as a lot of the humor isn't very far off reality ... That being said - no 'laugh out louds' but I did appreciate the comic timing of more than a few of the edits ... It had a bit of thought put into it and somehow this was evident, so from a film makers perspective of a film makers piss take of film making (I'm not exactly what we are left with in terms of criticism) I'll say >> nice job ...

Maximilian Schmige Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 I am only a newbie. This is the first short film with dialogue I have written and directed. All the other stuff was music video aesthetic stuff. I would agree that the mockumentary genre is quite overdone but it's always funny. I think I can be proud of myself. I did a good job with the little experience I have had so far... Feedback appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Lee Maisel Posted May 29, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted May 29, 2007 The ending was pretty funny. The traffic control PA not controlling traffic was good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
