Saint Luis Rey commercial, directed by ME!

Hey Guys,

My name is Tyler Richardson, and I'm currently a Junior at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where I'm majoring in Film and TV Production.

I'm taking a production class here that recently tasked us with creating a short video piece that visually conveys a specific scent. We were encouraged to consider making a spec commercial for a brand that is related to our scent, so that our projects would have some utility once completed.

Anyway, I chose cigar smoke as my scent, and I ended up making a spec spot for Saint Luis Rey cigars.

I'm new to this forum and thought that this might be a great way to introduce myself. I directed this piece with you guys, cigar enthusiasts, in mind. It's a piece about the quintessential cigar smoker, and the lengths he will go to in order to escape from the world so that he can enjoy one of his favorite indulgences.

It's only 60 seconds long, and I would really appreciate it if you guys take a look and let me know what you think. If you like it, feel free to share it. Thanks!!

You have a point! The "ping" of a DuPont sure would have been cooler than the "ping" of a zippo...:smiley20:

I dig it. I like when the music cut out and fire up the stick. Also, not sure many caught it, but the opening line is "a walk in the woods" and is repeated again after stick is lit. Very subtle, but cool. Nice work.

I now want to see the battle of Mike and Ike! :smiley37:

..but I wonder what the deal is. Ty asked for our opinions and has not returned since he posted it. I feel so used and abused... :smiley5:
