Whats the difference between this and anything else they sell? I feel like
Theyve been making the same products relabeled for the last 20 years. Never
anything revolutionary.
This one last significantly longer and is meant for durability instead of show. If you actually use it like I do, you'll find that it's a ridiculously good value.
Every company should want to make their products look nice. Even if it's
just a matter of flattering the actors, they should want them to look good
just because the viewer would then subconsciously associate aesthetic
beauty and warm feelings with the product. Logically, food companies and
beauty products should want their commercials to look as warm as a paint
company would, yet most of them I see these days are opting for flat,
stale-looking digital. The latest McDonald's ads are hideous.
You're right that the "square butts" BK commercial is kind of dumb (if
that's what you're referring to). Its dumbness is made worse, though,
because they too have chosen to shoot digitally. (And I think they just
started doing that this year. Before it was all film for them.) The
antiseptic, flat, ugly quality of the visuals of that commercial take what
was probably a stilly idea to begin with and remove any possible humor or
enjoyment that could've been mined from it. (Obviously, IMHO.)
We prep for 3 days, a lot, and we did everything by the book, yet days
later this VALSPAR latex paint peels off to the slightest touch! I am
living without a bathroom for weeks due to this joke of a paint! I will
have to pay $600 (plus the cost of REAL paint) to the painter again to
repaint, so either VALSPAR or LOWES will have to pay the painter to strip
all the valspar-garbage off the walls, prep again, and paint it with a REAL
PAINT. Never buy VALSPAR ever again.
In every Valspar upload, the comments almost seem to universally praise the
music. Don't get me wrong, the music is fine, but look at that
cinematography! Drink it up, friends. Enjoy it while you can. It seems that
most companies these days don't seem to care much about the visual
aesthetics of their ads, opting to go with dead, metallic digital shooting.
These days it's rare a company will care enough to shoot with film, as
Valspar clearly is doing.
Here is the email I got back from Valspar: Good Morning, Thank you for
taking the time to contact Valspar. The music in the commercials was
written specifically for the commercial by Jonathan Elias and there is not
a fully composed piece of music. We're sorry to inform you that this cannot
be purchased. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Jeff Bartos Technical

Thank you! Plus, I listened to the Everquest piece and although it's nice
for it's particular context, when you consider the pauses and the chosen
instruments, there NO competition whatsoever. I'd actually say that the
Everquest song "Kelethin" is similar at best, but definitely not the same
as this piece. (It'd almost be insulting to say so). Like you said, copied
or not this, is just stunning
You must be a sweet kid. It's very beautiful, what you said. It made me
think of the time I would be sent to the store to buy a slice of cheese, I
would always pick at it and would say to myself that once grown up, I would
buy a whole slice for myself. We weren't so poor, but it's just the
innocence of youth and the dreams that come with it. Regards.
Well by golly. This is the same music that's in the brand new Valspar
Commercial that just came out. I thought the music was brand new too, but
it's just reused from this commercial and being that this video was posted
back in March.......that's old. Oh well. It's new to me and I wish it was a
full complete song. I hate when Commercial do this.
Nice to know I'm not the only one captivated by this commercial. The song
Ice on the St. Laurance by Jonathan Elias is very close to the song in the
commercial. Either way..this is the first commercial that ever stopped me
in my tracks to watch. If anyone finds the song title..pls post it. Thanks
This song is smooth and relaxing. the name of the song is Ice on the St
Luarence by Jonathan Elias. The song is a bit different then the one used
in the commercial. But we should send an email to valspar and ask them to
release the version used for the commercial.
The song in this video is an altered version of the song Crossing River by
the artist Johnathan Elias....as i said though this is an altered version
of the song and it seems the only one you can find is the original that Mr.
Elias did. Too bad for us!
