re-size
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.

    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.

    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?

    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. :)

    Nicely done...it reminded me of Evil Dead 2 a little bit. Great special FX!

    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

    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.

    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!
