This past spring semester, I took an Advanced TV course. In addition to classroom exercises, we produced a monthly news program and three individual projects. The following is my 30-second commercial for Augustino’s Rock and Roll Deli in Carol Stream. A classic rock inspired deli with a giant jukebox for an entrance. There’s two more locations, one in West Chicago and the other in the Sears (*cough* Willis) Tower. In addition to subs and sandwiches, they serve pizza, soup, Italian beef, gelato, chicken, and hamburgers.
Comments about the video: The footage was shot on a winter afternoon. The voiceover and editing was done on a separate day. It’s probably the best choreographed project I did in the class, but I realize there’s some audio problems. A classmate of mine read the script for the commercial. I uploaded this video to YouTube the day after I finished, but they slammed me with a copyright violation for using the Chuck Berry song. I wasn’t about to slap on an alternative track so I left it. When I logged on yesterday to my account, the video was mysteriously visible on YouTube with zero views so I decided to post it here.
