     “acting, editing and video production is brutal all-around — cringeworthy really”

     you probably don’t want to hear what people have to say about your article just like I don’t really want to hear what you have to say about a commercial. We know your struggling to find things to write about but slamming other people seems unecessary

   Cringeworthy??? Who on earth are you to critique the technical aspects of a commercial? Me, I’m a professional television and commercial editor, and I think it’s fine. The fact that they managed to make the most boring man in a sport consisting almost entirely of boring men seem affable and funny is a testament to the talents that created the commercial, not the man who swings clubs for a living.

     You see, “Jeremy the television professional,” it really doesn’t matter what your opinion is as a producer. Your product is aimed at the general public and the author of the article happens to fall into the “general public.”

     If his opinion is that it is cringeworthy, then it is indeed cringeworthy to him; the target of the commercial.

     If you base all of your production on what you think is appropriate I daresay you havet yet to succeed in your field.

     My .02$.

       Dare away Derek. Among other things, I edit segments for Golf Channel’s Morning Drive, which combines my profession with my passion. In any walk of life, I’d call that successful.

       Let me explain where I’m coming from. I didn’t make the commercial or know who did. But I assure you, the team that made it did a good job. It is, on a technical level, without fault. But Andrew felt like gratuitously insulting those creative professionals by calling their good work brutal and cringeworthy. And that’s offensive.

       And you, “Derek the commenter,” would do well to actually take into account the credentials of the opinions you listen to and not make assumptions about strangers on the internet.

     Either the video was intentionally produced to feel like a local cable spot from the 80’s or it just feels like that because they were just regular people without any experience in front of a camera. It takes talent and lots of experience to to appear naturally in front of a camera.

     Personally, I like the human element to it – a lot more refreshing from the perfect fake smiles of today’s TV productions.
