Advertising Gone Wrong…

Posted on by

For my digital project, I decided to dub over some recent toy commercials to expose the world of advertising. I portrayed both of the toys featured as being plan and boring and unnecessary in life. Both of the toys, Test Tube Aliens and the revamped Furby have no point to their creation and do not benefit children in any way. Their advertisements persuade people to go and buy them by showing the excitement children have while playing with them and the fun tricks they can do but in a digital age, nobody wants to watch some weird alien thing grow or play with a creepy Furby.

Advertising Gone Wrong

Featured actor: My puppy- NomNom

My process:

My first idea for my video was going to be an interview style video between a horse talk show host and a dolphin guest. These would be people with masks on. I went to two costume shops and they didn’t have dolphin masks. One did a horse mask though. (which i did buy) But then I needed a new idea for my video. So Karolina found a dolphin fin at one of the stores and I came up with my idea then. I was going to put the dolphin fin on my puppy and he would be my dolphin actor. This worked out very well. My puppy didn’t mind the dolphin fin much. But he did not like being in a cage. My family doesn’t usually keep him in there so he was kinda upset. But when he was outside, he was happy, even though it was raining and he had a dolphin fin on him. Overall, my video did portray what I wanted, which was the difference between captured animals and free/wild animals.

My PowerPoint For The Digital Project

Here it is, the PowerPoint portion of my Digital Project. Steven Blumenthal Digital Project Powerpoint (link for download– our WordPress doesn’t let you display the PowerPoint on the blog itself, but any one who clicks that link can download my PowerPoint).

Here is an online video version of the slides, though the transitions and animations don’t seem to carry over from the PowerPoint: Steven Blumenthal YouTube Digital Project

For some reason the YouTube video above also is just displaying as a link to YouTube. I’m not sure if this is a limitation of the blog (like if they don’t want people embedding videos onto these sites), but if anyone knows how to insert a YouTube video into a post on Blogs at Baruch please let me know.
