I Made a $100,000 Commercial in 24 Hours With $0

I'm going to create a $100,000 commercial in the next 24 hours these are the products and this is my budget it's empty here are the rules rule number one everything must be made from scratch no paid assets I literally can't get it it's 12 bucks rule number two all modeling animation and rendering must be done within 24 hours 1:00 a.m. right now this sucks rule number three in order to win this challenge I need to pass the test three of the biggest blender YouTubers are going to watch four perct animations but one of them is mine and if I can successfully fool them and they choose the wrong ad I win the challenge but if any one of them can guess the impostor the challenge is lost and I have to spin the wheel of Pain Three tiar of pain increasing in difficulty with one ultimate punishment but you're also like you've gotten very good though so so the goal basically is for me to achieve you to feel pain I've already seen the punishments this is going to be crazy so it's 300 p.m. right now and these are the products I'm working with last challenge was free-for all anything goes this challenge is tech-based and out of these three options the quest it's just too much for a 24-hour challenge mainly because of this I can't be animated getting UI on top of everything else it's just way too much work and out of these two if I tried making an ad about keyboards they're going to know instantly I mean I'm the keyboard guy I think it's got to be Google where we're going with Google Now with that solved it was time to lay out my game plan so these are my competitors they're all really nice this one's got great V effects the animation here is amazing and I need to somehow beat them while also matching the style of a multibillion doll company in 24 hours Google they don't necessarily look like something I would see on TV I'm going to be honest I didn't want to say it but yeah this was going to be harder than I thought but with no time to waste I was on to research and things were not going as planned dude what is my home page I was looking for clean minimal Aesthetics something that screams Google okay that is not it and for some reason I mean this one yeah Pinterest just wasn't delivered this is not the vibe we're going for so I tried a different approach with Instagram and instantly hit the jackpot oh oh wow wa this is perfect oh dude and this too why didn't I just do this from the start with just 21 hours left it was time to begin storyboarding and this is where everything would fall into place so this is what I've come up with I know it looks bad but honestly this is the most important part of the entire Project without this I've got no plan and as long as they make sense to me I'm good to go yeah my drawing skills need to work but with another hour down it was time to begin shot number one so I say it every time but this is probably the easiest part of the challenge since the modeling is literally just a cylinder with a few holes in it and for the materials again it's just hard plastic and a simple fabric Shader I think the main thing is just going to be getting the realism down because if they suspect anything I'm going to have to spin the wheel of pain the lighting feels a little bit blendery to me I see one B Google logo maybe this one would be more than you could create in 24 hours but with the wheel of pain on my mind it was finally time to start animation so this first shot is actually super easy it's just two speakers on top of each other flipping to reveal different colors there's no crazy setup it's just a few empties parented to one another and the wide void effects is done simply with a bit of compositing that's really all there is to it I mean if these neck shots are this easy I'm going to be done in a few hours now with my confidence Sky High I was on to shot number two where things weren't so simple okay so this shot is probably the most complex in terms of setup I want to have this sort of explosion effect to showcase the different colored speakers and then have them match cut to the nest Pro that means simulations and the easiest way I can think to do that is with rigid bodies essentially I'm going to turn gravity off simulate each speaker popping in and guide it through the scene scene with virtual air But as time went on I noticed one massive problem with this workflow okay so this simulation is just breaking it lets me simulate them popping in which is great but see this they're like clipping into each other no matter what I do I can only apply the simulation to one parent object otherwise everything just falls apart I've looked on forums RIT every for the past 2 hours trying to fix this and I can't find anything at this point I was ready to give up and I'd already wasted 3 hours trying to make this happen it's 1:00 a.m. right now I need to figure this shot out or just move on I mean it's stupid that it just works on one object but then it hit me wait I think I just figured it out can I just simulate one dummy object and parent all the pieces to that and to my surprise it worked dude okay I either a genius or an idiot that actually worked but with that jaw-dropping 3-hour problem solved oh that took forever I was finally on to shot number three so it's 2: a.m. right now and I'm finally on to the last shot thankfully this one is super easy it's just two speakers balancing on top of each other with some nice basic lighting but what makes this shot cool is how it's being animated everything is being driven by rotation so it looks complex but really it's just some simple rotations and smart rigging at this stage I was feeling great every shot was complete but something wasn't quite right so I'm putting together the edit now and I'm just realizing there's nowhere near enough shots for this to be a full-blown ad each animation I'm up against is at least 15 seconds long but mine is like 8 not only that but when I checked my story boards yeah I mean it's there's nothing I thought three shots would be enough like last challenge I should have listened to my own advice this is the most important part of the entire [Music] project I'd already been awake for over 20 hours at this point and I was feeling it m i got to be honest I'm feeling kind of miserable right now this sucks but I wasn't giving up with just 10 hours left I needed to think fast and spinning the wheel of pain was not an option I've just got to lock in and make like three extra shots so I did shots were coming together Lightning Fast animation was a breeze and nothing was going to stop me from winning this ch yeah I I went to bed with my 4 hours of beauty sleep the animation was complete all I had left to do was render and get ready for the test but as I reflected back on last night I noticed something terrible so I've got just a bunch of shots in front of me there's no order to them let alone transitions between them and if I wanted to F the top blender YouTubers I needed to fix this quick I need to build this edit fast while keeping it in that Google style and honestly I think the quickest way to do that is with cap cut mainly because of this there's a full-on library of transitions here that I can abuse for free capcut is actually sponsoring this video and they're also a desktop app which I think a lot of people didn't know I mean I I I didn't know with my shots resembling some some kind of ad it was time to get that Google style I've watched a ton of Google ads obviously and I've noticed three things text motion and stylized frames so I'm going to be cheeky and throw in a few transitions make some simple stylized frames and to really sell it one big animated text reveal at the very end capcut made this video possible and it's honestly so easy to use grab it with the link below and start making some sweet content on desktop or mobile today with the edit complete I was feeling great but there was one crucial ingredient missing oh my God I just remembered I need to figure out music for this but with Just 4 hours remaining I needed something quick and I knew just the person to call only problem is Copycat was on tour and I was alone this that be what makes me fail I'm not a music producer I mean look at [Music] this that took me 2 hours to make at this point I was desperate and if I wanted to win this challenge I needed to think like Google I mean what if I just make it like a literal ad and use a bunch of Google Sound biets hey Google yeah wait that's perfect with another hour down I was feeling great this is really good but there was still one thing missing oldest needs now is like a killer song to go with it and I think I know the exact song to use yes oh my God that is amazing and with no time to spare the project was complete it's so good and there was only one thing left to do it was time to begin the test let's recap in order to win this challenge I need to pass three levels of difficulty level one Derek Elliot an extremely talented product animator with loads of experience in the industry level two Kaizen a 3D Pro with deep knowledge on all things blender level three nogi a hugely talented character artist with loads of experience in animation here are the rules so I've given myself 24 hours to create product animation I've mixed it in with three other real product animations and if you can guess the Imposter I have to spin the wheel of pain okay a wheel of pain okay with the rules set in place it was time to start I upload them in in no particular order but with Derek as my first level okay no particular order I was in for a challenge the SM one is first the headphones one is pretty simple the one with the wireless charger it looks nice but again very simple with two options already eliminated he was closing in fast they all look uh they all look similar I would say and he was getting suspicious but you're also like you've gotten very good though you didn't create all four did you no um I think you made the the credit card one really they feel a little smer than the others um I didn't okay okay I mean my next guess for the same reasons would be the Google audio one okay that is the one so it was the Google one very nice it was after that close call I was feeling great it's well it's well done oh thank you but I was on to level two where Kaizen was already suspicious it's actually now I think about it it's going to be harder for you to pass this one yeah all right um yeah I mean I hope I can get it this time uh the home one it does feel a little bit similar with the four colors okay feels blendery to me the lighting feels a little bit blendery to me with this s set on Google I was feeling the pressure audio is nice but also nonspecific to the actual animation and then he hit me with this I do have some inside information don't I wait what do you you mentioned you didn't have access to [Music] copycat that means to do his own audio with that new found knowledge I was in trouble um we're on to something here and after a lot of back and forth it was time to make a decision I'm thinking I'm I I'm liking the the earbuds one all right so locked in y I'm locked in that is not it got it wrong again damn it let's go with another close call he was genuinely confused oh man what what was he then what do you think it was the the Google yeah okay no wheel of pain for me but now the pressure was on with level three and things were about to get real yeah I'm I'm nervous so the goal basically is for me to achieve you to feel pain okay I'm I'm ready to sus it down it seems very um simple maybe too simple for you at least with two wins under my belt I was confident I'm going to rule out number three maybe too confident the first one the cards no I don't think you want to do liquid really this was starting to sound familiar I think the ones that could be it either two or four with the wheel of pain pressing on a coin flip decision oh okay I was silent and and then this happened okay I'm going to choose number [Music] four yeah that's the let's just get it over with I'm going to look forward to what pain you have to endure there's going to be like a red slot the worst one and that's shade my head hopefully that doesn't happen [Music] can I touch you yeah him hate him got out
