archived-videos Extended Coke commercial

[johngalt]

Hi,

This is the coke commercial I have made a few months back. This is an extended version of what is supposed to be a 1 minute commercial.

Please give me your feedback on my work. This is not rendered as HD because of disk space constraints on my notebook. This is not color corrected yet.

Pleaselet me know your thoughts on this.

Who is John Galt?

Wow. At first, I was thinking that this is too slow-paced for a Coke commerical. Then I thought it was too depressing for a Coke commerical. Then by the end I was laughing and wanting a Coke!

If that dude is in NYC, there's no way he'd have to run that far to find a store or a vending machine. You can always find pizza, soda, produce, and a dry cleaners within 2 blocks.

Ain't gonna comment on the actual video... but you've never heard of John Galt?

I'm surprised the name wasn't taken on the forum already.

Zen -- do you really ask me this question?

Spoiler

I was quoting the first line of the book.

I had shot this commercial in Newport,NJ.

Logically what you said is right John. But you would be surprised to know that after 12 pm I could not find a place to coke bottle from, as the one I got for drinking scene was over in 2 takes and all the surrounding stores are closed after 12. I had to take my car out get the coke bottle from cvs which is 2 miles away.

But thats not the actual reason I had put so much running. I thought the running sequences were kinda cool. Since its an extended version I had put most of the convincingly good ones.
