how I made a commercial using dollar store props

This is a bit of a change-up from my normal uploads. I've been really enjoying making videos and figured there's always room to explore the types of videos I want to create. Today was definitely one of the more fun endeavours.
First and foremost, I am a professional filmmaker. That's how I make a living. It's what I love to do and I'm going to continue pursuing this as my career path indefinitely. However, sometimes you want to explore other avenues of your career path to see what types of doors open up for you. That is what this video is illustrating.
Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But it doesn't have to be. It just needs to catch the attention of one or two clients to take off.
Special thanks to Tyler Barre. He was my co-creator on this product video. We wanted to mess around and come up with something good and I think we did just that.
Also, special shoutout to Ashley King. She helped out with the set decoration as well as some of the BTS video. She has her own channel that you should definitely check out! (apologies for spelling the channel name wrong in the video, my bad!)

Wow, great work. Love the beach shot, and final spec ad. Inspiring as I'm starting to play more with video. Gotta put my first cine lens to work.

[@aaronsambeyfilm]

Thank you! The beach shot was a lot of fun. Messy too!

Very Cool 😎. So the million dollar question.... has the manufacturer reached out to you yet?

Am I the only one getting left mono audio on the vlog parts?
