HUNGRY MEN: LAUNCHPAD PRODUCES/POSTS SPOTS FEATURING NFL STARS
September 14, 2005
The commercials feature NFL players Warren Sapp, Clinton Portis and Jeremy Shockey doing their own grocery shopping, each determined to buy their Hungry-Man meals in bulk.

Shockey clogs up the Express lane with his stash of frozen dinners. Sapp tips a freezer to get to the last remaining meal. And Portis removes the speakers from a loaded Hummer, just to pack in more of his own Hungry Man dinners.

The spots were shot at a Houston store over the course of three nights using two 35mm cameras. They were edited at LaunchPad by editor/partner Jacob Eidsmoe on the facility's Media 100 system, and were finished at National, Boston by Autodesk Smoke editor Adam Payne.

Over 30 variations of the :30 and :15 second spots were cut by the time post had wrapped up. Audio was posted at Rumblestrip Audio, part of National Boston Video Center.
