I posted up my first TV Commercial about 2-3 years ago. It was horrible, but at the time, I was proud of it because I had made it. No training. No help. It was really bad, but it worked amazingly for the business.

I've made over 300 commercials since then.

I'd love some critical comments on two of my most recent commercials.

Original Ad for those who are curious(Green screen, Horrible, somehow became famous locally):

Football themed ad(still shots):

you asked for critique...so here it goes

The concept is good, the audio mix is also nice.

The green spill around the characters looks bad. The drop shadow on the text is too much.
The graphic of the chicken coming in from screen left is too stretched and the green around its edges is too obvious.

I think they are punchy and fun.
I missed the name of the non-profit organisation. The sound was not good at that point.
