Rodent Repellent video ad

This is a crazy video promo I created to give a sample of the type work I am offering. These vertical videos are great for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc. You can grab attention with something funny and send people to your website, podcast, store, whatever.

In this video, I borrowed a famous quote from the movie, It's a Wonderful Life: "Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings." I changed it to: "Every time a bell rings a squirrel gets his wings." This makes for a nice punchline. I also used the name of the main character from the movie, George.

I wrote the script

I recorded the voiceover of the script in my sound booth with my Cubase digital audio workstation software

I selected appropriate background music and one sound effect from my Envato Elements subscription

I mixed and mastered the voiceover with the background music with Cubase

I exported the audio from Cubase to a studio-quality .wav file (24-bit, 48 kHz)

I selected appropriate video clips from my Envato Elements subscription to support the voiceover

I imported the voiceover/music track and the selected video clips into my Davinci Resolve video editing software

I created graphics with Affinity Designer and imported them into my Davinci Resolve timeline

I synced the video clips and images with the audio in Davinci Resolve

I exported the finished video

What’s the matter, George? You got squirrels in your attic?

They’re driving you nuts, right?

Well, you don’t have to put up with that anymore

Now, you can send ‘em to bell

No, no. I said, “bell.” Send them to bell.

With our revolutionary electronic rodent management system called, Bell Away

The frequency attracts them, then it makes them crazy

They’ll be literally flying out of your house

That’s why we say: with Bell Away, every time a bell rings a squirrel gets his wings.
