Things have a funny way of coming back again. A commercial director got in touch with me and was looking for some art for his next project. After talking with him some more and asking a few questions, it turns out the project was a series of commercials for one of the local City Colleges. This brought a big smile to my face as it just so happened to be the college I attended for a while way back when. The director would explain to me the various places he intended to school and I just kept answering, "Yeah, that's a nice spot."
The idea behind the commercials was to visualize a student's educational dream coming to fruition. The first one is of a girl wanting to be an architect. The director envisioned a almost continuous shot of the student in question, showing how education made a positive difference in their lives. The second one in this post is of a girl not having many friends due to her difficulty with the English language. She studies hard, learns English and is better able to make lots of friends. I liked how the school/director is showing how the school is there to help meet both educational and personal goals. I did a total of 7 or 8 of these individual stories.
The director was great to work with and I had a blast working on it and feeling like I was helping the place that once helped me. Cheers.
