Hi!

This winter, we made an energetic advertisement "movie trailer" about local high school, "Järvenpään lukio" in finnish. We decided not to do a basic corporation / school promotion video, which are usually quite boring and youngsters doesn't remember those afterwards at all. We wanted to do somenthing completely different - so we did a movie trailer.

As a theme, we chose High School Musical, and created this 5-minute ad trailer in co-operation with the school students.

We shot this video using Canon XHA1 and Redrock M2 35 mm adapter.

Video is on YouTube (english subtitles can be switched on/off from the "closed captions" button): YouTube - Järvenpään lukio -traileri / Trailer for Järvenpää Upper Secondary School (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn1FDOAaUDE)

and the direct link to YouTube HD version: YouTube - Järvenpään lukio -traileri / Trailer for Järvenpää Upper Secondary School (HD 720p) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn1FDOAaUDE&fmt=22)

I'd really like to hear your feedback, please feel free to comment, give critics, ideas etc.! Thanks! :)

Greetings,
Sakari,
Finland

Looks very nice, well done.

By the way, have been in Järvenpää back in the summer of 1998 when cycling from Helsinki to Lahti. Nice lovely town ;).

Very interesting ad even without the sound as I am watching with only the subtitles. Very cohesive and the cinematography is fluid.

The actors are natural. More of a shortfilm than an ad to me.
