Camaro commercials
 

ok everyone, I want to hear your thoughts on what you would like to see for the new camaro commercials.

I saw dragon and some others say some things in another thread and figured Id see what all of you want.


Spike.

I'm not gonna take all the credit - all I did was add something.

To close to a snake… Cobra… Sorry...

Very nice idea, I like your imagination. More over the dragon carries mystical values, and secret yet to discover. It's a huge magic monster roaring and breathing fire that could fit very well with the Camaro, nothing to do with a snake based on this.

I like this one. :cool:

i like these commercials where they act like the cobalt is the corvettes little brother in a way. So just take out the cobalt and put in a camaro. Ofcourse we need some other commercials with some more adrenaline!:smoking:

If it were an Eastern Dragon MAYBE, but I personally don't care for Eastern Dragons.

When I think of a dragon I think powerfully built and winged, not serpentine.

And this was my response in the other thread to Dragoneye's response. LOL

I would like to see is the following appear in white over a black screen with a voiceover reading it
"In 2002 we made a mistake.

This should make up for it"

Then show some driving shots and read off some specs

ya know these are some really good ideas. We should trademark these ideas or something.:bonk:

Hm, forget trademarking, I want GM to use them. Somebody find Lutz! or one of the heads of Marketing...:laugh:


Now, I may be burying myself...:iono: But I'm not one of those kreepy Medieval-obsessed people. Okay? I just think the idea of dragons is kind cool. having said that - I hate the eastern interpretation of the Dragon.

When I think 'Dragon' I think this:

hmmmmm... to compound on the dragon idea(s) have a herd of horses runnin (scared) in a salt flat away from a mountain with them merging together to form a mustang. then the sky turns dark and cloudy and lightning starts striking the ground as the mustang tries to evade it. then you see the dragon appear from the sky soaring down towards the mustang jaws open then the camera zooms in on the dragons mouth it gets closer and closer. then fire erupts from its mouth and when the smoke clears, all thats left is the Camaro. It "burps" and drives off towards the mountains.

Spike.

Yes, THAT is what I think of when I hear 'dragon'.

Mustang had best watch it's tail, 'cause that's gonna be nipping at it's hooves. ;)

I'm glad to see some people like my dragon idea. LOL I thought of it WAY back when the 4th Gens were still pretty new.

Love you're take on it btw. :) GM needs to listen up. We're giving out some good commercial ideas (and ones that would definitely catch the attention of the young and young-at-heart) for free.

Well, ok, an acknowledgement of thanks to each of us so we have bragging rights to our friends (who would NEVER believe WE suggested the commercials) would be nice. :thumbsup:

GM can copy my idea...if they give me a Camaro... :headbang:

If any of our ideas are used we have this thread as proof that we came up with it

untill they get their specially-equipped Black Suburban to pull up outside of the vBulletin Mainfraim building, and remotely purge the hard-disks of any of this...:thumbdown: ;)

I'm printing this out...:laugh:

S7??? BB??? :thumbup:

I think it should build on the phrase they already coined. It should be a mustang and a challenger in a race at the strip, The tree hits green and they take off.

As they speed towards the finish line, a camaro splits them right down the middle and continues passed the turn off point (don't know what it's called at a track).

"Why drive challengers when you could drive champions?"

"Join the revolution" as the american revolution graphic splashes up on the screen like the magazine ad.

you do realize you wrote "Greg Norris punches mustangs in the soul"
in binary...

...uh...yeah! Duh! What do think I'm stupid? *scoffs* ;)

nice picture dragon.

thx, ditto :thumbsup:

:sm0:

^Those are some good ones up there! I like the GM one....:clap:

And on the subject of comercials...
I LOVE the new Caddy comercial w/ the gorgeous redhead from Grey's Anatomy. First off...what a babe! Second, nice caddy. Third, she's talking about getting turned on...:D Daddy likey very much!!! :laugh:

Oh, actually, that was a cool Caddy...pop up LCD display, big sunroof, etc, etc, etc....very nice, GM.

For Camaro commercials...
You KNOW GM will have to do something along the lines of "Welcome back." Whether it be "We made a mistake"...or, "We're back"...or, "We've missed you." Either way, there will have to be a commercial just for that.

I really like the commercial that we saw in the movie theater w/ all the GM cars. Good song to start off...but what was really cool was we ran through all of the then and now's of GM cars. I'd love to see a commercial based off the Camaro like that. Let's start with the introduction to the 1st Gen and the reaction the public got (shot's of pub's faces upon reveil, etc.). Then, let's move on to the 2nd gen and it's highlights, 3rd Gen, 4th Gen (shots of the LS1, ect.), and then bring on the big bang of the 5th Gen. I mean we need shots...and regular people shots too!!! For example...

Let's get some shots of the silver coupe at a regular any old day car show...with all the folks standing around staring at it in awe. We've been there, we know it happened. We've seen it. *When I'm watching the commercial, bring back my memory of seeing it for the first time.*...along w/ the debut of the concept at NAIAS, of course. But, you get the idea w/ the car show snippit.

Then, get some shots at press events like the one Kenz went to out in Cali (that freakin burger joint which I can never remember the name!!!). But, show a couple of quick snippits of that...have the design team in one shot, and Chip Foose talking to members in another, etc.

Go to some driving shots of it...the orange vert w/ the top down on the back roads....(these are all concept shots we're showing here).

THEN, get to the real Camaro...the finished product. This whole commercial is done in stages...from first Camaro to 4th Gen...to concept form, to final product. Show THE FIRST (5th Gen) production Camaro rolling off the line and everyone who is there to celebrate it. I want to see REAL reactions...not some fabricated BS from Hollywood. Show the first one rolling off the plant floor, though...show some more getting shipped out to dealers and show the customer picking up his new Camaro w/ the dealer handing the guy the keys...then watch as he gets in his new Camaro and drives off into the sunset as he turns on, then quickly turns off the radio so he can listen to the exhaust. ***This is stuff we can relate to!!**

I could go on for a while. I have plenty of ideas. If GM gets into the commercial wars w/ Ford and Dodge, there'll be some good ones coming out. I like the race track one. I'm sure there'll be a few commercials w/ all three cars in them....and if not, THERE SHOULD BE.

I don't really see GM using the Dragon as the new symbol for the Camaro. The Camaro is supposed to be All-American, and Dragon's just reek of import. Whether it be European Dragons or Eastern Dragons.

Also, Dragons have been given a rather nerdy image in recent years, right along with ninjas, pirates, and Chuck Norris.

I do agree that it's the perfect time to give the Camaro its own mascot and corresponding symbol. Mustang and Ferrari have the horses, Firebird has the phoenix, etc... We need to come up with something that says "Camaro" as well as saying "America" without going so far as to use the American Flag or an Eagle.

The only problem is that Camaro either means nothing, or it means "Warm Friend". We can't really have a symbol of two friends hugging.

What's a small, vicious, American animal? It doesn't necessarily have to be capable of consuming a Mustang in its present form, we can supercharge it.

I'm thinking something along the lines of "Nibbler" from Futurama. Something cute or majestic, proud, powerful and considerably smaller than a horse.

How about an Alligator? Those can be considered fairly American, and are quite powerful. Graphic Design would have to a bit of work on making it "Majestic" or "Cute".

Here's some more information on Mustang's natural enemies.

From "The Mustangs", by James Frank Dobie

From "Montana Outdoors" March–April 2003

I'd go for the wolf. They are dogs and so that covers companionship. But they also have a nasty bite. They stick together. And they thin out the herds of mustangs.

I like it! Does any other company/car already have the wolf as their symbol?

I can just see the commercial now:

A herd of mustangs (horses) are standing around in the plains, chewing on some grass. Up comes a couple of wolves and the chase is on. A good amount of dust is thrown up and both the mustangs and the wolves are momentarily hidden from view. A horse winnies loudly and the dust settles. All that's left is a Camaro sitting there with some kind of horse remnants on the ground in front of the car.

It'd have to be appropriate for TV, so they'd probably use horse shoes, even though it's supposed to be a wild horse.

Or how about this:

A couple of guys are standing next to a Mustang in a parking lot or gas station. A Camaro pulls up and one of the guys turns to his friend and says "Ha, check out the Camaro. What does that even mean anyway?" A guy who's supposed to look like a scientist or wildlife biologist comes out of nowhere with a book called "A Guide to American Wildlife" or something, and reads "Camaro: A small, vicious animal that eats mustangs". The camera flashes back to the Camaro's hood and a wolf growl sound effect is heard. The two guys look at each other with fear in their eyes and quickly get in their car and drive away. The camera flashes back to the Camaro where the announcer says "The Chevy Camaro is back, and it's here to stay" in a serious/threatening tone.

I read somewhere that Chevy had originally planned on calling it the Panther rather than Camaro. They had name plates stamped out and everything. Then last minute they changed their minds and decided that Camaro sounded better.

I really really like either idea of having a panther or wolf in the commercials. Both have good meaning behind them.:thumbsup:

I like domesticated Dogs...but in the wild...it has to be a Cat. Panthe's nice.

I like the Wolf Idea, too...

you mean something like this.....

What the hell is it chasing? I make out claws of some sort. The commercial is pretty cool. I like it alot.

Higher quality version here...

that is the kind of idea that i think we are talking about but i looks a little "childish" if thats the right word.:iono: Theres no reason behind anything
