I live in Big 12 country, so I pretty much only get to see Big 12 school commercials, but Jesus you would think some of these schools didnt have massive amounts of money... I love the pure comedic value of some of these things. Im trying to find video's of some of these, and if you could describe and/or get video for other conferences I would greatly appreciate it.
In the Big 12 pretty much Texas and OU are the only ones with decent commercials. OU's has good camera work and tries to sell the university on academic merits. UT's ads have allways been really good, mainly because GDS&M has allways done it and you normally look good when you pay one of the top advertising firms in the country to make your commercials.
ATM and Okie St have well filmed commercials, but are fucking retarded. ATM features some horrible acting with a father reading a story about a 'mythical place' that turns out to be ATM. This is forehead slapping bad stuff. Okie St. has a well filmed commercial that focuses on their new student workout center. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET YOU TO GO TO A SCHOOL BY SHOWING OFF SHIT IN ANY GOLDS GYM IN AMERICA. OMG they have a basketball court. A rockwall? a suspended track? a pool? weight? WOW!!!1
Tech is possibly the wost offender. I think theirs must be put together by their advertising department.. it looks like something you would find on cable access, and features really horrid camera work where they try to superimpose images of students on the sides of their buildings, but do a REALLY horrible job of it.
I'll post some links in my reply to this.
