I posted this in another thread... but why not here too?
please tell me what you think.
i got a cheap ass commercial for you right here. all you need is three vehicles, four actors... almost no camera work whatsoever, excluding one hood mounted follow car. Three cameras total, CAMERA ONE (CAR A) that needs an active cameraman, CAMERA TWO mounted on the hood of a follow car, and CAMERA THREE (CAR B) mounted on the dash, only two cars will be in the commercial.
"CAR A" has a young couple in it, "CAR B" has an old couple in it.
Commercial Starts in CAR A, shot is looking down at a cell-phone whose browser is in a generic forum (representing of course a Ron Paul forum, it would help if the general appearance was like that of ronpaul2008.com on a cellphone).
the camera picks up from the phone's screen and moves backward so that it is facing out front of the car right between driver and passenger.
in the right third (out the passenger side window) you see a van pull up and slightly ahead of CAR A. This van is CAR B.
camera shot is then out the window of CAR A looking at an old couple in CAR B that looks really happy and is chatting it up.
voice of driver in CAR A: Hey, they're Ron Paul fans!
cut to CAMERA 2:
CAMERA 2 shows the rear bumper of both vehicles on a city hiway side by side. the back of both vehicles are plastered in (or atleast have one or two) ron paul for pres stickers. The audio is CAR A honk honk honk honk honking at the old folks in
cut to CAMERA 1:
Driver is waving and honking like crazy as camera moves in between driver and passenger and looks down at the cellphone screen.
Driver: (lightly, in jest) Ahhh, those crazy old folks, can't even hear us.
On the cellphone screen, passenger sends a text that says, "we're driving next to some old folks in a van w/ Ron Paul stickers right now!!!!!"
Driver: oh well. crazy old people, let's go.
On cellphone screen a text comes in that says, "is that you in the (whatever color, make) CAR A. as this is on screen, the passenger in CAR A says,
Passenger: Is that you in the (color, make) car?
CAMERA ONE pulls back from the cellphone to the split driver/passenger shot as the two look at each other kinda puzzled. cut to CAMERA THREE
CAMERA THREE is mounted on the dashboard of CAR B. Inside you hear the radio,
"if you google Ron Paaaauuul, if you google Ron Paaaauuul." and you see the old folks, driver and passenger waving out the window.
cut back and forth from CAMERA THREE to CAMERA ONE, audio is a fade from the old people laughing to the young people laughing. Cut to CAMERA TWO
CAMERA TWO looking from behind sees the stickers prominently in the shot as CAR A speeds away and both cars drive off, follow car applies brake to allow both CAR A and CAR B to pull off into the sunset.
please tell me what you think.
