Got Roaches??? - Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum

This is a simple test for a concept the boss wants to flesh out. He thinks grossing people out
might be good for getting their attention and I tend to agree, obviously, duh.
This is a new character I developed because the other one was too basic, unimaginative and
more scary than anything else. This little guy is cute and cuddly, just the way you want a roach to be.
This is just a test for motion, sound effects and model design. I can already tell that the pacifier needs more
polygons to make it look real. That's the least of it's problems.

But enough jibba jabba, here is a test and a full 15 sec commercial and a full :30

How's come that lady in the last commercial talks like she got hit in the head with something?
I love the Tony Bennett roachmercial. The first one is gonna work with some background. The roach is really touch to see, I couldn't really experience the entire cuteness factor.
Well done, Brad!!! :-)

Ahh, so that's Greg's new logo, huh?

You know Scott, the automated Youtoob upload bot told me they were "dark" and I ignored them because it's a dark
kitchen with roaches at play overnight....but i think I need to address that in some way.

Haha, as to the woman, yes, she has a messed up accent. Since the ad was being used in Alabama, where we KNOW
everyone is a hillbilly, I thought it might work out. :-)

I liked them both. I enjoyed the 15 second one the most. Good work!
[Reply]

Good concepts, but yeah I like the 15 second ad best.

The 30 was made to customer specs off of an idea he had, so I a not surprised you like the one I made
for my own company more. I have better ideas than my customers. But not by much, lol. That Pizza :15 needs
a lot more work with the lighting before it's ready. That and the pacifier idea are both little lighting nightmares.

When the bugs are scurrying across the counter, they could use a bit more size or accent. I'm afraid on a screen far away it may be very difficult to see the bugs runnning. Otherwise they are really cool!

Fixed some issues I had with this test of the pacifier. Although looking at it a few times, I see a physics issue
I could easily fix and improve it.

Mac, in HD it's much better with the roach size. It is meant more to prompt the brain than please the eye, but I will
look into that. Suggestions is how we fixes the broke $hi+.

For sure! I would always trust your eye over mine, and I saw what was happening it was just the only thought I had that hadn't been pointed out. I think you are doing an excellent job on these!

Your comment was perfectly fine and I took it to heart. I get tunnel vision on these things, without honest first-look
feedback, I could never do my job.

Brad, I know nothing in the area of the work you are doing here. The only uneducated advice I can offer is that the background is so dark in the pacifier one it becomes hard to see the movement of the roach. I found all to be entertaining from an artistic generation stand point though. Looks like some serious time invested.
