05 Dec Vlog #30: Doritos Crash the Super Bowl Part II

Moth to Flame decided to try their luck and enter not just one, but four separate spec commercials to the 2011 Doritos Crash the Superbowl Contest. Check out our entries and the making of video!

I have been wanting to make a Doritos commercial ever since I saw the ones from 2010. They are so fun and clever. This year I came up with four different subjects. Each of these subjects were refined and perfected after bouncing off the ideas to several key members: Harold Williams, Graham Smith, Tom Beagles, and Nicholas Hasandras. Be sure to check out each of our entries by clicking on the pictures below. Also I am a sucker for behind the scenes videos, I think they are even more fun than the final product. Make sure to click on the main featured video to see behind the scenes and the craziness on set. Special thanks to Praveen Katta for capturing a lot of the behind the scenes footage and to Steve Herron for editing it together.

All I can say is… what a fun weekend. It was a group of individuals that enjoyed hanging out with each other and making funny commercials. We fooled around half of the time on set and ate way too many Doritos. I am sure none of my actors want to eat Doritos for a while.

Make sure to check out all four of our entries above as well as the behind the scenes, never seen footage, by clicking on the main picture! Enjoy! Wish us luck!
