My First Commercial

Today I helped produce a TV commercial for the first time!! I am so excited. You can’t imagine how awesome it is to be involved at that level in the agency (as an INTERN). It was for a local fast food chain here in Birmingham called Milo’s. My job was just to help where ever I could. In the picture I am helping Kevin, the director, to correct the lighting and center the shot.

The commercial was shot like a music video. Milo’s has this great jingle that is like common knowledge down here, so they had an American Idol style contest for a person to be in a Milo’s ad to sing the jingle. It was really cool to see the whole picture. I saw direction, set design, production, and even a little post back at the office. I’m not going to lie, this experience has just put me 2 years ahead in my studies.
