        A very simple approach...
        A woman sitting on a doorstep in front of an island-style home, putting a ribbon in her daughter's hair while she hummed a calming tune. A relaxing windchime could be heard in the background. No music track. The lense was filtered a bit to enhance the calm effect the ad projected.

        I used to always sit there and watch it whenever it came on. Very relaxing.
        I loved that commercial. Very relaxing indeed.

        As for Lanai and Augie, I know some hate the lava line commercial, but it just makes me CRACK UP!! My husband is totally amused at my over amusement of that spot. I laugh at the same point all the time (when they scratch the truck).

          That was a funny one! I really appreciate these local commercials that actually have some thought and/or humor in them.

            MadAzza, do you remember what that commercial was for? I remember I liked that one, but can't seem to remember now what it was about. That car commercial with the two guys...."I'm not listening/I can't hear you...lalalalala" they have a good campaign, that company.

                I was wondering about the one with people running around with butterfly nets in the downtown area.

                    Shush, Kimo!

                    No, Tip, I don't remember which company that ad was for. Gawd, that was months ago! Something local, though. OK, I guess that's not a big help ...

                      Oh dear! That's the purpose of advertising...to entice the viewer to remember the product!

                      Very cute spot!
                      Not to mention a very nice gift from a bank. Beats the heck outta coolers, beach chairs and notebooks!

                          Ah, thanx! I've lurked on occasion. This will be news to Ryan, but I'm the unofficial president of the non-existent "Ryan Ozawa Family Fan Club"! Shhhh...don't tell him, 'kay?! Big head...attitude...the whole works if he ever finds out!

                            I don't like that commercial. seems forced, contrived, improbale, uncomfortable... the dancing is awkward.

                            actors needed a glass of wine or so before floppin around.
                            and the dumb tellers, shoulda had them do something else but stand there with goofy smiles on their faces.
                            Actually, the dancing is supposed to be awkward. That's part of the concept...part of the 'gag', as it were. They were selected for their dancing 'style'! "Real" customers doin' their 'thing'!

                            The next time you're on Maui, watch for a Whaler's Village commercial with dancing clothes. Altho' the incredible dancing ability of the people wearing those clothes can't totally be seen (they're in green body suits shot against a green screen so all you see are the clothes dancing), that was a case of casting expert dancers. CPB was not.

                            The understated "goofy smiles" were part of the 'gag'! I don't know whether or not those were actual CPB bank tellers (my guess is they were). If so, then it's difficult at best to direct someone...anyone...who has never been on camera before, esp. in a spot with a comedic undertone.

                            Regardless, there will never be a commercial that *everyone* likes! But it's kinda fun talking about them! I just have to remember to be, ummm, politically correct! Never know who's lurking here!

                              Nah, I'll always be an SCHer at heart having been there since day one! However, I have enough killfiles going that I see relatively few daily posts. Okay, okay...I have only one killfile in place and it takes care of 75% of the posts!!! Know what I mean?
