The Mill x SCAD

Mentor Notes for Team KESS Week 2: 

• David: shots 4 5 6 unclear, verbal walkthrough
• Emily: Why is there a red skittle on the palette? where did it come from and why is it only one color? More surprising way to introduce the red skittle on the palette. Maybe theres a pack or bag and pouring it out like its the last one.
• Mazyar: all of them are black and white and the red one stands out, like it appears special from the other skittles. Needs production design and film help with costumes and environment. End card, and fonts at the end.
• David: do they break skittles in commercials? make it look beautiful and appetizing. Put energy in the beauty aspect.
• Chris: brands are careful with how they depict their products. Have a sense of how they usually present their things. Good thing in general to consider
• Emily: Look at The Mill skittle commercials, fun factor is there. A lot of them have a character thats eating and benefiting from the weird and quirky thing in the skittles. “mmm yes keep painting” red one makes him go “ooo” and he keeps eating them and painting
• Incheol: questioning the intention on the center skittle placement. Make it different.
• Mazyar: Have the painting a little bit bigger, feels low res, skittles too big, whole canvas bigger but have more detail and more skittles
• Professor Fowler: talk over your previs specifics are good
