Can soap be "broken" (rendering it unusable)?

I went to dovecreamoil.com and wow, there is some CRAP on there. :evil: I was thinking of sandbagging the competition but seriously, those do not deserve high praise anyway, so I have no trouble voting them down.

Looks great!

I love the eye roll and look of disgust/despair right before the soap dropping.

I agree that it takes to long for the product to come out of the bottle, and there is a look on Jen's face that can be misconstrued as boredom while waiting for it to happen. I also think the music might want to be 'softened' up a bit if it's possible.

Also, at the end I'm not really sure what Jen is doing. Can the graphic be moved to still cover but show some washing?

Is the pink bottle at the end stock? Is it possible to replace it with the same type used? It adds a moment of product confusion.

Coolness. I'll fix the squeeze scene. Might have to speed it up a tad, because we only did two takes on that part, and that ended up being the best one, with the bottle more prominent.

As for the mirror/shower scene - since it shows a lack of lather, would it be best if I use the take I have with the mirror slightly steamed up to mask that little fact? That way, the focus will be on the tray/Dove, with CP out of focus in the back. How would that do? I'll add that to the next cut and see what you all think.

As for the red bottle shot, that is one that we must use - it's their new variety that doesn't come out until later this month, so it's not even available on the shelves. They should have offered to send us a bottle or something so the product would match, but that was their odd decision. Ken can tell you that I was in here swearing about having to use it, and finally came up with splitting the screen with an action shot. That clip took me over 6 hours to contemplate what the heck to do with it. Bleh.

And to those who can't view it, I'm sorry. Apparently, all my stuff requires the latest version of Quicktime, probably because I compress it down with the pro version. For this, I didn't want to YouTube it.

What about my request for more nudity?

That sounds better to me :)

It makes me want to take a shower... for once.

I think that it's going to kick butt and take names when you tweak it just the bits that have already been mentioned, can't wait to see the next version!

Yes, and practice made for perfection. But wait till you hear him go on and on about the depth!

I'm also tweaking the transitions a bit, per Kevy's suggestion. It's a real bitch adding dissolves when I have layers of different formats. :P (The required stock footage is imported .mov files which don't take kindly to transitions.) But, I figured it's worth a try.

Oh, and I'll try a bit of Paris-y music with the second take, although I am partial to MBC's ditty. :)
