Bath and Body Works Commercial Hey guys!!! I am so excited to finally announce the completion of Valentina and I’s commercial! Watch it above I hope you all enjoy!

 Hey! I'm glad to say that after numerous days of production, it has now come to an end. As a recap of stages prior to this one, we started by first planning with a storyboard and the filming. Following filming, we started editing all of the clips together, making sure to pick the best out of the bunch. Finally, here we are at the final stage of production where I finalized editing to make everything cohesive. One key element in the commercial I worked hard to perfect was the triple split screen shot. This short featured a video of the product in the middle and then on both sides there was two different clips of Valentina and I on the beach. This added a fun, unique feature to the commercial that kept the flow adequately. Another feature that helped made the commercial cohesive was the little white stickers I added. Throughout the commercial, you can see little white squiggly lines and dots. These helped to add some personality to the commercial, and help bring the playful energy i...

 Hey guys! Major update on our production process! So as you may all know, the previous stage of production had involved filming our planned scenes in addition to extra ones. While filming I made it a point to get every angle of every shot and film everything multiple times. Although I think this was critical to our production process, it left day 2 of our production to be targeted towards sifting through all of our footage. With this, my contribution to this stage of production was to assist in completing the sifting process. I categorized all of our footage and related each seat to our storyboard. From there, I then watched back every scene filmed for every box drawn on the storyboard and kind of had to imagine its potential in the final commercial. This helped me know what scenes and angles to keep, in addition to knowing which ones to scrap. I then communicated my opinion on the scenes I thought were objectively the best with Valentina. After this, we came to an agreement on th...

 Hey guys! I'm so excited to let everyone know production has officially begun for the commercial! After various planning dates and sketches to outline the most perfect commercial, we have finished filming. Valentine and I met on our originally planned filming day and were ecstatic to start. Luckily, the weather complied with our filming schedule and at the beach it was sunny and bright! To start on the day, I changed into my first outfit for the commercial, my beach outfit. This consisted of a flow shirt and bathing suit shorts.I then presented the props I contributed to Valentina, including a beach towel and volleyball. After I made sure I had all the props I needed for my scenes, we went down to the shore and started to film. For filming, I acted as both an actor and videographer. I assisted in making sure we got all the necessary angles for each scene, making sure we would get the perfect shot. By besides my filming skills, I also starred as an actor in the commercial. For the ...
