Introduction

In this project we created something that was meant to be humorous. We started by writing an outline in English and we then created our actual humor production (humorous video, poster, etc.) in Digital Media. After some thinking, I chose to create an infomercial. I have always “enjoyed” watching terrible actors and energetic salespeople attempt to sell even the most mundane products. I decided that I wanted to sell a product that literally does nothing but make it seem like it was a miracle, cure-all product. We also chose two or more humorist influences for our work. I chose The Onion which is a satirical news company and Gus Johnson who makes comedic videos on YouTube.

My infomercial for a terrible very good product.

Behind the Scenes

I mostly used After Effects to assemble my infomercial and I used Photoshop to edit myself into a couple of stock photos.
