Guitar Hero Snuggie Commercial

You've seen and laughed at the corny commercial for the Snuggie, followed by the Weezer Snuggie.  Now, 5Frets.com introduces the Guitar Hero Snuggie:

From the price "ding" to the bonus offers, to the fast talking 800 guy, we hope you have as much fun watching this as we did making it.  (If you haven't seen the original Snuggie and Weezer Snuggie commercials, you probably won't get the joke references.)

How & Why We Made the Guitar Hero Snuggie Commercial Video

This from-scratch recreation took 5GB data and 93 takes (audio/video combined) in an effort to capture the feel of the original commercial for maximum comedy. Approx 15 hours of work.

The only software used was:

Video Editing
VirtualDub 1.8.8 GPL video editing software
Windows XP Movie Maker

Sound Editing
1997 copy of Creative Wave Studio 4.0 originally included with Sound Blaster 32 ISA sound card

Graphic Editing
1998 copy of JASC Paint Shop Pro 5

Prior to 2PM Sunday I have never mixed 2 sounds together nor done video alpha transparency before (the picture-in-picture during the ending 800 order scene), so it was a real challenge bringing this all together in time to meet the contest deadline.

This is a parody video. This product is not for sale and doesn't exist. The phone number is also made up.

We created this video to enter Logitech and ScoreHero's Pimp Your Hardware Video Contest.

Thanks to ScoreHero.com and Logitech for putting on this contest and motivating us to create this.
