Shot mostly with 5D with 7D as b-cam.
Its a commercial for a major fastcraft operator in my country.

First off, let me say the footage looks great! Nice combo of shots.

Gotta be honest...the jingle is not nearly at the same production level and for me brings the piece down. The singer is terribly out of tune in a couple of spots and doesn't have the right voice for jingles.

There's a couple of strange edits (VO vs visuals) that stick out to me.
The opening VO looks like it was an attempt to match the lady's lips. Need to shift the VO and choose a shot where the talent isn't mouthing any words. Or use a female VO properly synced.
The part where the VO says "exotic destinations", the visual is a sandwich. Rather swap that shot for either some killer broll or at least the shot of the TV.

Just my two cents...once again the camerawork is awesome!

Thank you
 

Robert,

I really appreciate your constructive comments, I went back to the edit, moved things a bit and changed the VO to make it match.
I share your sentiment on the jingle, the company had that made a year ago and I told them almost the same comments you had,
I didnt even like most of the lyrics thats why i ask for the music bed so I can replace it with a VO instead.

Thanks a lot and its one reason I post it here to gain feed back.

I updated the video with the changes.

Again, thanks.

Ted

No problem! Those little changes worked for me! Spot looks very nice.

Yeah I'd have to agree, the jingle demeans the great video.
