The terrible pressure of constant deadlines cruelly takes its terrifying toll on the youthful skin of a worn-out artist. The young man can only be saved by L'Oreal Men's Expert Hydra-Energetic SPF15 Lotion!

<a href=" http://www.danielheard.com">Daniel Heard</a> is the artist, animator, and actor in this commercial. He is also the collaborator on the entire production, so he gets 50% of all its earnings. So, feed a starving artist, won't ya? :)

Man...awesome graphics, but it was kind of....dark. Little scary even, but you I get the point...and thats the point. GL.

Neghie,
Thank you! I give credit to<a href=" http://www.sealrockmusic.com/about.html">David Norfleet </a>for the scary soundtrack. I imagine L'Oreal may want this VCAM in October for the Halloween ads. -
That's frighteningly effective!
-
Nice work, voice over at the end is a little too long. Suggest an edit here. Otherwise nicely done...GL

too dark, the special effects are great.
-
Love it! Good job!
-
a little dark, sure, but deserving of a red light? :)
-
Good.
-
Excellent..film making. Nice pace. Good build. I liked the music too.
I notice the character is married. Hm. Is that how he happens to have the product in his cabinet? -
Amazing production quality!
-
Brilliant concept! So well executed and shot. Your editing/effects is really solid all around.
I continue to appreciate your feedback on my pods so if you have a chance and wouldn't mind checking out my new one -- "Acting on a Dream" -- I would really appreciate it. It's about a hollywood actor who directs his first independent film.
many thanks and GL from me. -
Good to see a really unique approach in this VCAM category. Visually very interesting and well executed.
Strategy-wise, I feel like the tone is wrong given the product. Sinister sells if the payoff is light or if the sinisterness is a million miles away from reality. Because you changed the state of his skin... and this is about skin-care... I feel like it's a little too close to home. And you ramp that 'fear' to 10. Still interesting to watch.
Kudos to the drawer... he's got talent!!-

Thank you for the well-thought and nicely put feedback. I really love it when producers take the time to really write a critique. However, I disagree with the fundamental core of your argument. :) It's very removed from reality, unless drawings come to life and attack all of us. The subject is skin care, and our actor's skin is attacked but then saved by the skin-care product. Lastly, fear is the motivator behind most advertising and media. No offense meant in this reply- just wanted to give my opinion. :)

AWESOME!!! Great concept, wonderful effects and what a handsome man! Jenn, you are on your way. Reach for the stars......

L'oreal, good for you to go after a new, trendy and timely market!
-
Very imaginative. Scary and fun to watch!
-
Nicely done...it reminded me of Evil Dead 2 a little bit. Great special FX!
Greenlight!
Let me know what you think of my Sony spot. Thanks! -
Thank you for stopping by and giving your feedback on the commercial. Please, if you have time, take a look at my pod on Breed Specific Legislation. It has yet to make it to #10 spot. Thanks again! ~ Jenn

Nice

Wow. Great production quality. Great drawing as well. It might not penetrate such a pleasing taste to the viewer though. Perhaps if the beauty of loreal held more time on screen....

great effects and use of music. L'oreal may not like it but I did.

if you have 6 minutes. -
Wow, great special effects and novel idea. Professionally done, but best of all—I like it. GL.
I invite you to take a look at my pod, <a href=" http://current.tv/watch/86877062.htm">Spanish Challenge Quiz</a> -
GL! Unfortunately I have to agree that it is probably not what L'Oreal is going to want... But the video was awesome! My only critical comment on the piece itself is that I wish the time-lapse portions were a little smoother, difficult I know, but if accomplished, it would really push the overall quality of the piece. Great concept, loved the shocking eye opening moment synched up with the music... You could make a horror movie out of this...
Give our XM VCAM a look if you get a chance...
Thanks! -
wow, is it really the consensus the L'Oreal would not like this? interesting. i mean, i thought it was clear that the lotion was saving this man from the villian...hmmm. i'm surprised a little that the reaction has been so strong about the dark material. thanks for the feedback everyone, i do appreciate it very much!
-
unclear what its saying
-
super graphics - great idea - handsome guy!!!
-
good job GL!!!!!

Jenn, I'm surprised your VCAM isn't rising faster. I understand peoples' thoughts on L'Oreal (believe me, mine involves stripper dust) but I just try to think of a target audience. Considering our market I think horror films and gentlemen's clubs might not be a bad fit. L'Oreal can run yours on the Sci-Fi channel, and bury mine on Spike.
Anyway, as an original supporter, I hope that people rally to your efforts. In my (rarely humble) opinion it is vastly superior to the majority of the VCAMS I've seen in any category.
Keep me posted on your next pod. Good Luck. -
Hmmm. I'm not sure about how many aspects of the scoring work. If that is the case (that the scores reset), I feel sorry for the kid in our category who's spent countless hours GL'ing every pod, promo and vcam that posts. Besides those in his own category of course. Have you noticed this dynamo? He should run for office! The other day he actually GLit a pod uploaded without audio! "Wow" indeed.
I always give people the benefit of the doubt though. He could've sustained some hearing loss from the faucet in his VCAM. That thing sounds like Niagra. -
bravo!
-
I love it!... 499 times!
-
You never know what Loreal will and won't like. Because this product is for men, I'm going to guess that edgier is better. Regardless it's a really well done piece.

That was a very cool piece. I really enjoyed the special effects. GL and I hope that it makes it on TV.
I did think that the audio was a little overdone and you might want to consider bumping your levels down a bit. The sound of the pencil is over the top and the climaxing music seems a touch high. (But we all know that they make commercials louder than the rest of TV anyway right!)
Also, take a look at my Pod when you have a chance. I would love to get your feedback. Thanks.-

Great effort and animation. Too scary for TV.
-
too scary for TV? have people watched TV lately?
-
I think this is brilliant! If that stuff can fix his skin, then it can definitely fix mine. :)
Thanks for the GL on my pod, "Retiring in Exile."
