Dunkin' Super Bowl Commercial

 "Good Will Dunkin'"YouTube · Dunkin'1 week ago


The advertisement I chose to look at this week is the Super Bowl commercial from the Super Bowl last week. I find this commercial interesting as it is based in the 80s-90s era of Dunkin'. The commercial shows stars like Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, and Tom Brady among others. At one point we see Jasmine Guy sitting at a table where she says "I will marry the first guy that can help me with the Fibonacci sequence" and all of the guys at the table next to her jump up and run over to help. At one point, the guy playing Jennifer Anistons boyfriend pulls out a picture of her from her Friends days in the early 2000s. Later in the ad, Jennifer Aniston shows up with Tom Brady declaring him her new boyfriend. I find this interesting as she looks the same in the photo as she did on camera and Tom Brady looks like himself from a few years ago rather than now. The other celebrities in the commercial do not look as young as Aniston and Brady do which poses the question of were they in the commercial via AI or did they just have a lot of makeup on to make them look like their younger selves?

    The ad was such fun satire of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's Good Will Hunting movie. I don't know if AI was used or not. I just liked the references to the tv sitcoms that aired during the 1990s. Dunkin Donuts is a hometown favorite and Good Will Hunting was filmed in Boston, and Affleck and Damon are also from the Boston area.

    I'm not sure if this was AI or not. I think there was definitely some retouching, but I do believe cameras and lighting can really make someone appear to look different.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
