Project Synopsis
This project will be a 30-second commercial for Popeyes Supplements consisting of 3 scenes in total. Scene 1 will take place inside of a gym with Thomas visibly struggling to lift weights. Thomas will then be approached by his friend Sarah who notices that he is struggling and suggests that they go to Popeyes Supplements so Thomas can get the results he wants. The next scene takes place inside of Popeyes Supplements where Jerry an employee offers Thomas help and recommends him a supplement that will help him see results. While Thomas is being helped Sarah is looking around the store and gets a supplement for herself too. They both buy the supplements and then fast forward a few weeks we see Thomas back in the gym. In scene 3 Thomas is visibly stronger and is no longer struggling as much as he used to.
