Sprite's Out! A bit too out....

Today i worked on my project with one other person, and i'll say... I bought a lot of sprite for the occasion! I figured, since it was cheap, simple, and easy to utilize. I wanted to make the project really fun, and make sure that it went smoothly. Turns out though, a lot of my storyboard was changed. For example, i decided to make the first shot a picture of my friend grabbing a sprite out the vending machine, and looking at it in happiness. I figured this would introduce the sprite a lot better and get the audience to understand that they could get it from anywhere! Next, i decided to go side by side with the storyboard. Let's just say i bought a lot of sprite.. We threw around one for commercial effect, but then we wondered how we would end up getting to that point in the first place? I still have to figure that out. The next part was pretty fun, though. We depicted a story about a boy and his sprite, and it just coming back to him when he needs it most. Depending on the time, i'd really like to make this ad special. Then, some people came over, and you know, just like the ads, we gave them some sprite! We ended up recording together and finding a place to put them into the actual commercial.
Overall it was a great time i had spent. We had a lot of fun recording, and surprisingly it didn't take as long as i expected it to. I really thought that the 30 seconds would be hard, but a lot of my shots ended up passing that, so now i have to work on either shorter segments, or edits/cuts.
I tried a lot of camera techniques as well! I did a lot of panning, and i did utilize a lot of zooms when it came to it. Tilts and tracking shots were also an integral part of my shooting. For some reason, i also decided to add a first person shot, and i have to decide on whether i'll use it or not. A lot of funny things also managed to happen today during recording... pro tip... Make sure to open sprite SLOWLY... Overall, i had an excellent time. I thought that everything we did was meaningful and full of character! From here on out, we'll see how things go.
