I thought it looked great!

I'm not sure what the product was... "Senior Shots," I guess. I don't know what that means exactly; photos for yearbook? a little video of the individual?
Guess one might learn more at the web site, but for a commercial, you may want to be a bit more definitive.
If it's photos, some freeze frames might have been cool.
Also, I'd have kept the contact info up longer.
I make cable commercials, so I have opinions - sorry... ;-)

Still, I loved the shots. Very high energy, fun, dynamic and exciting. Good composition and colors. Music worked and the editing was brisk and clean. Very nice!

I'm with Matt, not sure who the client is or why they're buying TV time. (Do students get their own photos taken nowadays??)

Music worked. Is it licensed?

And finally a technical suggestion, I felt the end tag was too short. Ideally you should allow close to 5 seconds, this seemed about a second a a half if that. Too short for a viewer to catch the name of the company & website.

Thanks, guys! That means a lot!

To answer your questions, senior pictures are pretty big in Ohio... Every Senior in highschool gets senior pictures... I think it was like this in every state, but I'm finding out it's not. Haha.

We lengthened the end slide, and the music is licensed.
