College Grads Create Fake Tesla Commercial That Elon Musk Loves
cartechboy (2660665) writes "Two University of Southern California grads were looking to start a digital content company so they decided to roll the dice and create a home-made (but incredibly professional looking) television commercial for Tesla — just to see if they could get some attention for it. Well, apparently, mission accomplished. R.J. Collins and James Khabushani took $1,500 and created a 60-second Tesla 'faux-mercial' dubbed 'Modern Spaceship' that is well, pretty good. Elon Musk noticed, tweeted it and has helped the thing go viral."
Question: why cannot the "professional" commercial makers do this sort of thing?
They do. For example: The Force: Volkswagen Commercial
I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of killer sig, which this margin is too narrow to contain.
Instead of linking to some site linking to or embedding the ad from youtube,
here's the actual youtube link.
Because, when it comes to car commercials, ad agencies are bound by so many rules and regulations regarding depictions of reckless driving and such things that it becomes almost impossible tp create a cool car commercial without running the risk of going to court over it (both the ad agency AND car manufacturer).
What the hell are you talking about.... I just watched a car commercial where a woman jumped on top of a moving train with a car.
