Don’t sell yourself short, YIYF. Stanley Kubrick was fascinated by tv commercials and studied them. 😃
I agree. I have a close friend in L.A. who designs & builds sets for a living. Mostly commercials, local news sets, cable news sets, and an occasional video. We sometimes sit and discuss the insanity of what it takes to get fifty people rowing the same direction for what will be 60 seconds of film. I can’t even imagine what it would take on a two and a half hour film that took nearly two years.
Not to mention, there are some very well done commercials these days. 60 seconds of camera work, acting, sets, music, etc that equal the level of a film. I’ve spent more than a few moments occasionally watching some on Youtube because I thought they were so well done.

Well done, YIYF. 😉
