CCR: REFLECTON TO COMMERCIAL

    So today I have finally gotten a break from life. My aunt has been pregnant these past nine months and yesterday she was induced so she is in the process of having the baby as I type. I have been so busy helping my aunt and godparents prep for the baby that I actually left away from home my mother and siblings of course I kept in contact but my assistance was needed over here considering they had other children in the house. 
    So I have been at my aunt's house from almost a month or so now and I have been taking care of the kids and helping them with school it interfered with my work and classes sometimes but I didn't have anyone around to ask for help so I ended up stuck and having to just deal with it but its okay I just have to catch you guys up started with my commercial blog.  My commercial is challenging conventions by deteriorating the idea that NIKE and Under Amour are businesses that are all about money.
    Whether the school work has to get done during practice or not the work and effort put in by those who do have it as easy as the rest of society tends to become the best versions of themselves and become our future leaders of tomorrow because they understand the idea of making due with what they have in front of them.
     A flat basketball on a rainy day on an outside court with only a few hours to spare before its time to hit the books. It could be present as a commercial on cable shows or as an intro to a documentary on Netflix that goes into depth on the message behind it.
    I had to work on my own with this one so I used the tilt shift and a lot of close up shots. I had two editing tools that I used one came with the laptop that I used. I did everything in small takes and trimmed into even smaller clips. I had to add a voiceover to make this commercial the way I wanted it. The process was long but I managed to get through and gained a new god brother along the way.
