It’s Time DON BROIDA
CONCEPT SCRIPT & BOARDS
Be who you want to be i NEW HAIR, NEW YOU
The entire commercial will be shot from the back of women's heads. i Hair styles tell a story on their own. A ponytail tells of gardening or working out, while loose, flowing hair is a night out on town. An updo is prom night, and a messy bun tells the story of a fun day at the beach. A tight braid is a high stakes gymnastics competition, while curled tendrils speak of a romantic wedding. This list goes on and on. Beyond styles, are cuts themselves - Pixie, bob, bangs, layers, etc. Each convey a very distinct story about the person wearing it.
The hair tells the story. i This spot will be a collection of vignettes of special, everyday moments - A day at the beach. A wedding. A mother holding her child. A job interview. A date... I have provided a very detailed script below, which includes shot selections. This will be recorded in an energetic, upbeat woman’s voice, and will be mixed with the live audio recorded in each of our shots. This audio combination will give the spot an unbeatable, authentic feel. The spot will be fun, colorful, and lively - not overly maudlin or dramatic. The perfect tone for Pantene.
I take pride in my proven ability to deliver a broadcast quality, finished product on time. With Tongal I have created two nationally broadcast commercials for Quaker Oats and Unilever, in addition to countless internet commercials for brands such as P&G and Olay. I’m happy to provide any requested pre-production materials and welcome a brand representative to set. Thanks, Don
