Ole Miss has a great commercial...

Whoever was responsible for our stupid fight song commercial last year should have been fired. That was the most embarrassing, non informative, and corny commercial I have ever seen.
Our efforts in this area have been a complete joke. <div>

When I'm not in school I work freelance production in LA. One of the companies I was with, Green Dot, did this commercial. I wasn't on their crew but was in the bay next to theirs and heard them asking what Ole Miss was. I stuck my head in and helped them find places to stay, ideas on catering, and some crew around the area. I got to see the original story boards about a month and a half ago. Pretty much exactly the same. It ended up being production from LA and crew from Atlanta. Its nice to finally see it and crazy the difference between a schools attempt at a commercial and a professionals. Definitely a huge upgrade from any commercials past.
but the PR department missed something. The shot of the jets going over Vaught Hemingway, the eye goes to "War Eagle."
May just be my trained eye to look for things like that. But nevertheless, this is really good. If ours is half this good, we've come a long way. The singing fight song was atrocious.

1. They did a great job of getting a minority in almost every shot.
2. The whole "no one ever leaves" part is kind of creepy. I can't tell if if gives a horror movie or nursing home vibe.
3. Great to see Michael Oher in there at the :39 mark

Am I missing the sarcastics here? What's with all the love?
The production value of this commercial is nice (not overwhelming). But, as a high school senior is this where I want to spend 4 years? Is this really the Ole Miss brand they want to convey to future students? If so, more power to them, but I think they are missing the mark on reaching tomorrow's college students. It's a nice nostalgic piece for alumni, but that's about it - and maybe that's the point if they using this to increase fundraising, but if that's the case they should say so at the end with a plea for support.
The War Eagle thing is pretty amusing.
"Friendships that are more than friendships. Moments that are more than moments." Who wrote that garbage? Seriously, that's really lazy copy writing.
Honestly, I wasn't sure what I was watching. It felt like a funeral was about to break out.
Most University commercials suck, but just because the bar is set so low doesn't mean this commercial is especially good.

This was obviously a cheap attempt by TSUN administrators to take a swipe at MSU fans. Well, it isn't going to work. Now y'all just wait while I draft a 7 page response to this video explaining just how much I don't care about it.
