Time Flys when Sandlot’s Driscoll Directs for OTTA
I recently finished a humor spot for College Advantage, a tax free college savings plan from the Ohio Tuition Trust Authority (OTTA). The Ohio 529 plan offers tax free earnings and you can contribute as little as $25 at a time. The commercial is a humorous reminder that it is never too early to think about saving for your child’s college education. I was lucky to team with Ben Bass of Spotfish Films and sbc Advertising to produce the spot.
The production was shot in a now empty hospital and we faced some interesting challenges. There was no nursery viewing window in the location so the crew shot mocked up a nurses station counter as the window in wide shots and brought in a fly wall for the closer shots. We were extremely limited in our choice of angles because we could not give away our rigs,but the shots that were available were perfect for the mood of the spot.
