Interns Craft Hilarious ‘Dos Equis’ Parody Video for Skillman Video Group

Skillman Video Group (SVG) had two talented interns, Chloe and Jason, who worked closely with CEO Christina Skillman on various projects, including an exciting intern-made marketing video for SVG.

This project provided them with a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to write, produce, and edit a commercial, mimicking the real-world experience of video production.

Concept and Script Writing

The “Dos Equis” parody video they produced served as an excellent learning opportunity for the interns.

The project was simple in concept but required creativity and humor to make it impactful. The original Dos Equis commercials feature an older gentleman engaging in outlandish activities, making for humorous and memorable advertisements.

Chloe and Jason captured this essence perfectly, tailoring it to fit SVG’s branding.

Crafting the Message

Writing the script for the SVG parody video involved blending humor with the company’s message.

The goal was to create an exaggerated portrayal of Christina Skillman, emphasizing why she runs “the most interesting video production company in the world.”

This clever twist on the classic Dos Equis line communicated SVG’s unique approach to video production while maintaining a humorous tone. Chloe and Jason worked diligently to craft punchlines that would resonate with the audience and produced a one-minute marketing video for YouTube.

Filming and Production

Filming the video, while straightforward, required precision and attention to detail.

The interns had to ensure that each shot was executed perfectly to match the comedic timing of the voiceover punchlines. Both Chloe and Jason were actively involved in all aspects of filming and editing, which fostered a collaborative environment and allowed them to bring their ideas to life.

Hands-On Involvement

The video production services utilized for this project included equipment that was readily accessible to the interns, making this production entirely intern-driven.

The filming process itself was relatively quick, but the success of the project hinged on the extensive planning and strategic work that went into organizing the production. Chloe and Jason’s hands-on involvement was crucial in achieving a polished and professional final product.

Project Wrap-Up

The Dos Equis parody commercial that Chloe and Jason created turned out to be an exciting and challenging project.

From the initial concept to the final visuals, the interns demonstrated their ability to work together and produce a high-quality piece. The project not only showcased their skills but also added significant value to their portfolios.

Both interns and SVG were proud to present their finished summer 2016 Dos Equis parody video, a testament to their hard work and creativity.
