FIVE POINT PRODUCTIONS’ COMMERCIAL SHOT WITH JVC PRO HD
CAMCORDER WINS DORITOS’ CRASH THE SUPER BOWL COMPETITION
Winning Commercial Aired During Super Bowl XLI
Wayne, NJ (February 5, 2007) -- Five Point Productions’ “Live the
Flavor” 30-second spot is the winner of the Doritos ‘Crash the Super Bowl’
Contest, which aired during the Super Bowl last night. Shot with the JVC ProHD HD100 Series
camcorder, producer, Dale Backus, completed the commercial in just four days.
Sponsored by Frito Lay, the Crash the Super Bowl video contest invited
fans to create their own 30-second Doritos commercial. Among the 1,000 people who entered the
contest, only five finalists were chosen.
Viewers had a chance to vote online to determine what Doritos commercial
appeared during the 2007 Super Bowl.
“The JVC worked very well for us, as it usually does. It's small enough to go
handheld for working in tight spaces, but has a powerful feature set, enough to
deliver a high quality product, especially in combination with the Letus 35mm adapter,” said Backus. “When we looked to purchase a new camera
about a year ago, we gravitated towards the HD100 because we’ve had good experiences
with JVC cameras in the past. Secondly, it had
interchangeable lenses, which is a very handy thing. It became especially
useful when looking for a 35mm adapter - the Letus was a perfect match,
allowing us to adapt straight to the camera body and eliminating additional light loss. Third, we liked the HDV format because of its very efficient compression, which allowed us to work in
HD without buying enormous amounts of storage. Finally, the JVC
fit our price range.”
