how do I make this blog post?
December 22nd, 2008Let me tell you, it is fairly rare for me to make some promo at work that I feel really proud of. I mean let’s face it, most of the time promos are "tune in this Friday at 10" and that’s it. We’ve been doing some interstitials recently and that’s a whole ‘nother ball game ‘cuz you get some time to actually tell a story, which is great. And sure, if you get a good budget and time and creative approval, you can make a good promo, but those occasions are few and far between.
Which is why I’m so stoked to have made this last week (let it load fully before playing):
UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE, YOU HAVE TRANSCENDED, YOU ARE TALENT, SPOT IS AWESOME, AND JUST AS MUCH ABOUT YOU, AS MOVIES, WINNER
thanks yo…
it’s so cool that there’s going to be a promo on the channel that is essentially espousing my personal views on the transformative powers of life, while also promoting some films…they’re gonna go with my VO read too which is sweet…I knew you’d dig it, it’s totally a promo for promo producers…
i was scared that they werent gonna have the balls to let you use your voice, and i would have publicly mocked them
the fact that they did, game, set, match, point
I showed it to the top execs last Friday during the Sundance Xmas party, so they all had a few cocktails in them — perfect timing. They flipped out, lost their shit, started grabbing random people to show them the promo, said “don’t change a thing!”
Want approval on a spot? Show it to the execs when they’re drinking.
