Doritos Contest Top 5!
 

Hey guys,

My friends and I shot a 30 second spot for a Super Bowl contest sponsored by Doritos and learned that we were selected into the Top 5 submissions!

We shot is using the JVC HD100 with the Letus HD100 (great adapter, thanks Quyen!).

The next phase is up to a vote by the public and will determine which of the 5 will be aired during Super Bowl XLI. Any and all support would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Check it out at www.crashthesuperbowl.com

Our spot is "Live the Flavor" - Help us if you can (if you like ours the best, that is :)

Thanks a lot guys!

thanks so much for the encouragement. In a time like this when youre facing such good opponents, you really start second guessing. Thanks a lot for your support, tell your friends!

LOL!!! You got my vote, Dale. That was a great idea and so well done--very funny! :)

very professional and witty. good luck!

Dale,
In all fairness I had to watch all of the videos to make sure I voted for the best one. You got my vote. It was brilliant. Great work.

Thanks a lot guys - i really appreciate the kind words, means a lot. Spread the word!

What is a "Viewing Party?"
 

Do you at least get to attend the game, or are they just going to let you watch it on TV?

I was on a game show once
 

A show called "Press Your Luck." I lost, got 3 whammies in my first 4 spins, if you're familiar with the show. Anyway, one of the consilation prizes was about a year's supply of Doritos.

Good luck.

The party is in Miami. Not sure really what it involves, but i do know it involves a good deal of media and press... I'd rather watch the game in the comfort of a room anyway!

Thumbs up! Voted yours #1.

Smart move by Free-to-Lay
 

Others advertiisers are paying big bucks for creative and commercial production. Frito-Lay is getting thiers for a song. Plus all the PR from the contest.

It's a double-edged sword, yes, but the rewards can be helpful if the top 5 and or winner plays their cards right.

Absolutely
 

Prospective Client: What's your credentials?

Scott: I wrote and produced Frito-Lay's Superbowl commercial.

Prospective Client: You're hired!

Haha, that's the hope! We've seen an impressive amount of PR from this already, and it really has only begun - it's been quite a ride...

Hang on to your hat!

Outstanding - great idea too!

Would be funny if the car blew up, then they can both be BBQ

No offense to the others but you blew those losers out of the water he he.

See you in the SB along with the Eagles

Thanks so much Gary - very very encouraging. Voting is closed so time will tell!

Wow, that was pretty funny...sad to say it. But Mouse trap got my vote. But you were a close second man! Gotta love the crunch...

Ha! Too bad the Eagles got beat in the mouth by the Saints

Go Colts!

Loved it!...Has that Frito-Lay zest to it....

Wait a tick ... that's Waverly Place! Good video, too.

Congratulations Dale!
 

You did a great job of incorporating the theme into your 30 second spot.

Congratulations on the win!

So does this mean you're going to Disneyworld? (hehe)

Congratulations!
 

I didn't read that you had won, yet told practically everyone I knew to watch for "a Doritos ad that had a car in it." At my house you should have heard the cheer that went up when it aired. Everyone said it was the funniest of all the Super Bowl ads.

Tell us about the big day, okay? :)

Congrats! let us know how this changes your life and what opportunities fall in your lap. Awesome!

Congrats on your win. I was pulling for the "home team"!

BTW, I liked the spot! You for hire?

Dale, that was awesome. Congrats.

Thanks!
 

Thanks so much, everybody!

You know - we were a small video production company from Cary before, and we're a small video production company from Cary today - and we're still just 5 people trying to put food on the table... but this, if anything, has been a very good confidence boost, reputation builder, and conversation piece!

Thanks to all who voted - not even for us, but who just participated in general.

Thanks again!

Dale
