Product Pitches

  Idea 1: Hot dogs. Tyree came up with the idea of hot dogs as our first product for our commercial specifically Oscar Mayers. Jamarcus said, "Hog dogs arent good and he doesnt like them." He feels like there are more creative freedom in other products. Da also thought that it was a terrible idea thinking a commercial on hotdogs when you have other better options out there is insane. Tyree came up with the idea because he really likes hot dogs and in the same day, he ate 9 hot dogs back in Iceland continuously. He is a big hot dog advocate and strongly support this as our commercial product. Due to out vote in numbers, we went against this idea. There wasn't much of an argument, when the words came out his mouth, it was basically an automatic no from the start by the way he said it. However it was thought upon a little but this is for AICE and starting off with a difficult topic without creative freedom would be a rough rest of the year. In addition, filming with food would be messy and getting it perfect with shots and putting perfect mustard on it would take a long time. Messing up means restarting and a new hotdog and it seems like a hassle. Maybe there is some overthinking but better to find a new product anyway.

Idea 2: Chew 5 gum. Tyree again came up with this idea again before the other two people could even come up with one. He presented this idea as it has high creative freedom and includes lots of ideas to make a commercial on. Jamarcus and Da had no problem with this one unlike the hotdogs as flavors include a wild range that can be worked on in different aspects. The slogan, "how it feels to chew 5 gum" is also already in place for us to use and overall manageable to make a commercial on. So we ended up choosing 5 gum because we couldn't come up with a better idea and 5 gum seems like a decent idea anyway. Furhermore, it isn't messy and restarting simply means another stick of gum. Buying one pack means about 6-7 different shot attempts for all three of us. So this not only saves time in the long run, but there are also more established commercials on 5 gum. Basically out of ease and ideas for the product, did we end up choosing it. We couldnt think of anything better anyway. So the decision was made and or product is 5 gum and the flavors watermelon prism and wintermint.
