Thirty-one years selling mattresses. Never once lain on one.
The brief
A deadpan documentary-style comedy spot for an invented mattress outlet: one character, one confession, one payoff, in fifteen seconds.
The craft
- 01Shot grammar borrowed from documentary: handheld drift, zoom corrections, flat fluorescent light.
- 02Dialogue, room tone and a deliberately over-sincere music cue generated with the picture; every word lands as written.
- 03The punchline is a picture before it is a line: a single tear, on a mattress, from a man who has sold eleven thousand of them.
