Today I started my new job, which is also the second chapter in my commercial making career. Here's a few things you may have never known about the fantastically un-ironic world of making things people don't like to watch.

- Making commercials is the best way for all parties involved to make the most cash within the least amount of time. The order for maximum cash money in the entertainment industry from least to most is as follows:

Music videos
Porno
Feature Length Films
Dealing Coke
Making Commercials
Being Jennifer Lopez's ass

- The amount of money companies are willing to, and ultimately do spend on a commercial for their product is roughly half the amount of money they're apparently willing to flush down the toilets of many lazy people.

- The people involved in making the commercials seem to forget that they're losing their minds and patience for something that people like me will use as a cue to take a shit and get more food.

- The people involved in making the commercials seem to think that they are just as cool, if not cooler, than people who make movies. For example: A girl who forgot what she was actually doing yelled at me because I wouldn't get her a limo to take her to the airport. It should be worth mentioning that she was on her way to clean the camera on a shoot for health insurance. The only thing missing were her star shaped novelty sunglasses.

- When they shoot products that are small (candy, batteries, etc.), they make kick ass giant sized models of each. I am now the proud owner of a giant Mach 3 razor.

So this can be pretty fun stuff if you keep the right mind set. I edited a commercial for Gillette today, and while I won't reveal too much, I will say that the future of clean shaves is looking so bright, I've got to wear my star shaped novelty sun glasses!
