Tree-4-Me - Television Commercial - iMovie - May 2005

  This is a mock television commercial I put together in just a few hours one day. I was looking for a simple idea that was kind of funny and wouldn't take long to produce, and this is what I came up with. Just don't expect to really see it on television. This was edited entirely in iMovie (and not without some serious headaches - even for such a simple project!).

Please watch the commercial before reading any further!

You will have noticed (you watched the commercial already, right?) that there is some fine print in the commercial that is too small to read in this rendition. You aren't supposed to be able to read it all, ANYWAY (that's part of the humor of the piece), but just in case you simply MUST know what it says, well, here it is:
