 Hey blog. I’ve decided to do a collage style commercial. I’ll add put the photos and videos together one after another will shorts breaks in between. I don’t think I’m going to evenly space the footage and photos. I want it to look erratic and energetic. Controlled chaos in a way. It’ll give my commercial a more organic feeling to it. I’m going to put the entire focus on exercise and weight training but use clips and footage that allow my personality to shine through the exercises and music. I’ll try and use footage that shows my face to do this. I plan on analyzing various fitness commercials and training montages in movies and other media. In order to get a better idea of what my commercial to be formatted like. The Rocky movies are a great source of inspiration. These movies are famous for their training montages that take up to 1/3 of the movies total run time. Analyzing these will allow me to form a base from which I can expand upon. A lot of gyms have very good commercials. Well

 Hey Blog. So I'm going to the gym with my friends this weekend particularly my friend Kevin and we're going to gather the rest of our footage for our commercials. We have footage of our own but as I stated before we want new footage of ourselves because of how far we've come and the quality will be much better. We're trying to go for matching gym apparel I think it'll look better since it it gives us a coherent look since we will be in each other commercials and we are "selling" around the same idea and "product". Of course the commercial is about me in general so I'm taking care to include other videos and pictures hat represent me as a person. But I think having that central focus will help in how I structure it. We're going to hit the gym then most definitely hit the beach after and I think the weather is clearing up so it should be a great day to gather footage. I’ve been thinking of where exactly I should be making my commercial bu

 My name is Gabriel Lance Reyes but ever since the 6th grade everyone calls me Lance. I love working out especially at the gym with friends its honestly one of my favorite hobbies. I can only work with music or a video in the background it really helps me focus. I really enjoy writing mostly horror short stories, i;ve loved horror movies. I love music more than anything I need it in every second of my life. I love binge watching movies at night especially action/fantasy and i love fantasy in general. I love lifting to music and especially at night. I don't like country music or some modern rap but I love music from the 80's and 70's especially. Love walks at night they really help me destress and in general i consider myself of more of a night person. I've never really been a technology kind of person but I love designing things. Whether its a bottle rocket or fixing a desk I've always loved building thjngs with my hands. I consider myself pretty active I enjoy Tenn

Research and Production Blog

 Hey Blog. I will be documenting the steps making my commercial which will be on exercise and general fitness. This is a topic I've been interested in for quite some time and I think it is one I will enjoy researching and presenting to you through these blogs and my eventual commercial. I've done lots of research on exercise and fitness and I found it's truly astonishing how varied each aspect is. Whether its a training program, nutrition, physiology, and just the kind of lifestyle and mindset it entails. Truth be told because of this complexity it made research quite lengthy and wasn't easy by any means, but it's something I am truly passionate about so in the end I didn't mind all that much. Combined with some of my own knowledge I actually enjoyed the process. In choosing photos, videos, and music for my commercial I hit some roadblocks along the way that honestly made me feel a little dumb but what could I expect. I wanted to add photos and videos of myself

 Hey Blog. I've been working up ideas for my commercial and I actually started gathering some footage. I really love exercise and especially going to the gym and I figured that the best course was to gather new footage instead of using old ones simply because the quality would be much better and my strength and technique has changed drastically. But I think I might add some old videos to compare to now so I have something intriguing for my audience showing my growth and progress. A few days ago I went to the gym with some friends of mine to gather some footage but we didn't end up gathering much it was our first time lifting together in a while and to be honest we got side tracked. Afterwards wasn't exactly productive either we went to this 7/11 down the street and got slushies and candy, so not exactly the ideal things to eat after a workout session. We planned on getting some footage on the beach because we were playing volleyball and sports are a large part of fitness an
