Guest Post from BapuKon Productions: Flicks Contest
Konstantine and I, founders of BapuKon Productions, are delighted with the opportunity to channel our creative talents to create an ad for the Firefox Flicks contest.
We are ecstatic about entering film and commercial competitions. In fact, we recently submitted an ad to the Converse Gallery for the chance of being awarded a spot on the air.
You can view our film here. The ad is self-explanatory, but we want to clarify that the last few seconds of it is black because Converse will add their personal logo in that space, should the commercial be aired.
As for the Firefox Flicks contest, we want to wish good luck to everyone who enters!

Nicely done, with the number of people planning on entering this contest it is starting to turn into a superbowl quality (or close to it) ad contest.

Agreed! We’re getting a lot of interest for entering the contest. I think that we’re going to see some pretty cool ads.

So I have the best idea for this contest but wouldn’t be able to sketch a fox let alone animate a firefox! Anyways, the beginning of the commercial pans out and a deep voice (average commercial voice, sense of amusement) says ‘Meet Bill, The Internet Explorer’ (secretly, Bill is bill gates and internet explorer being the leading browser) so anyways it pans out behind Bill and you see he is a average sized man that is outfitted with all sorts of hunting gear (he dresses in a generally blue-colour outfit) and when the pan comes behind him and it says meet bill blah blah the camera freezes as the voice is giong, and it seems bill is in a heroic-type stance, but as soon as you unfreeze it it shows that he was actually in the middle of a slip as he climbed up the side of a mountain type cliff. Then as soon as it shows him struggling for a second we zoom over to the right (in the direction he is climbing towards) and as the zoom is going the voice says ‘In hunt of the illusive firefox’ and it shows the fox zooming by, and as he zooms by it freezes frame again, giving people a good look at the fox and establishing the firefox as the mascot for the browser. Then what happens comes in a series of commercials done in the ‘roadrunner vs wiley e coyote’ style where the firefox consistantly out performs and gets away from Bill, the internet explorer, I have more of the idea in my head and I need someone to help me make the idea into a video! Please tell me if you want to use the idea, I don’t ask for much I just need to know whats going on I don’t want to see it on the TV and say DOH! Anyways, please guys tell me what you think, I would have submitted the idea but I have no video to show for! My email is mloubani@rogers.com, any feedback would be great!
