I officially wrapped up the Marinara gig this morning, which means the other projects I have on the queue can finally start moving.
The one I’m going to be burning mouse feet over this week is a short AVP to promote Nivea’s new line of For Men products in the Philippines. It stars the girl on the left, who I never bothered to find out the name of, as well as 5 ugly guys. The hook of the spot is that these ugly guys all have a chance with this girl because they use Nivea For Men products, which is absolute b.s., but what can you do. I’m doing the whole thing in Flash MX 2004, which means vector-art galore once again. I really wish I had time to develop a more unique look for this, but given that I only have a few days to finish the whole thing, I’m forced to just draw as I normally do. Still, I suppose it’s better than doing photo-collages again, which I did for the last two video gigs.
While I work on this, I’ll also be programming CMS’s for 3 websites (2 from scratch and 1 for add-ons), so it looks like I’ll be having a pretty full week again. No rest for the wicked, as they say.
