Title: Jack in the Box "Turkey Burger" commercial
Post by: TheVoiceOfNick on August 05, 2003, 03:27:05 PM
Admins, move this if it doesn't belong here, but...

The new JITB commercial for their new turkey burger looks totally filmed by PTA... although I don't think he would ever stoop to direct a fast food commercial (although maybe in 50 years he might consider it... :P), but the director of it must have been so inspired by PTA!

We open on a shot of an intern or someone who is outside waiting for a meeting to get out... the meeting gets out and the intern follows this exec who just went through the door... the camera goes backwards (all in one shot) and twists corners as they discuss the new product... we cut to the turkey burger info... we then cut back as the exec and intern walk together again... the camera still goes backwards (like on a track, but there is no track... must be a steadycam) as the exec makes her last comment... the intern just stands there as the camera changes direction and pulls into the intern... we cut again to the turky burger info.

Maybe my description isn't that great, but if you saw it you'd know what I mean... looks totally PTA.

I saw that commercial just yesterday and loved it.  Made me want to watch PDL while chowing down on a juicy turkey burger.

Seriously though, I think the best part about that commercial was that last line: "I'm just saying, any bird that walks around going 'gobble gobble' is just askin' to be a sandwich."  :-D
