Doritos Commercial – “Don’t Ever Run Out”

Mike — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:33:52 +0000

Today I worked with Billy at Soundbytes. I shot and edited their Doritos commercial for the Superbowl this year. The story line was pretty funny and the actors fit fairly well.

We took about 4.5 hours to shoot. I was DP and visual/fx supervisor. I had to set up several scenes for some animation later on in post. We also used a green screen during one scene.

We are not allowed to post the commercial until after the superbowl, but you can view the commercial here on Doritos’ website.

“Doritos… Don’t Ever Run Out!”
