My new Infomercial! - DPChallenge Forums

So a while back I posted that I was shooting some footage for our infomercial.

Well here it is all done! Glass Science

The graphics are all mine the package design is mine and 1/2 the footage I shot. The shot of the cop I drove up to Jerome to shoot.

Just thought I would share and maybe you could tell me what you think. It starts to air on some cable channels on Monday!!

I'm not sure if this is me, but all I can see is a big Q

waited for Â± 2 minutes.

Biteme-- you must have quicktime set as your defualt Mpeg player, and to stream instead of downloading.
I am downloading it now, and only getting around 50kb/sec, so its gonna be awhile.
I think you need to wait longer.

We invented Rain-x and sold the Trademark to shell oil. This is the new competition to the old formula.

ok I checked the video..

is this for tell-sell or something? or is it the way you guys make commercials?
it's sooooo long, my attention was gone after 30 seconds (usually commercials over here take Â± 30 seconds, or maybe shorter) the text on the video, together with the voice is a bit too much IMO... but I think that's just what I'm used to.

on the other hand, I could never do this myself so, you did a great job :D

Its called "infomercial" rather than commercial because of its length. We often get hit with infomercials between regular programs on cable channels or late in the evening/early morning on some regular channels.

Yeah we make it to sell.

Yes its long but over in the US we have commercials and Infomercials. The Infomercials are longer and yeah I think the voice over and text are a little much but that was not up to me.
