Moth to Flame decided to try their luck and enter not just one, but four separate spec commercials to the 2011 Doritos Crash the Superbowl Contest. Check out our entries and the making of video! I have been wanting to make a Doritos commercial ever since I saw the ones from 2010. They are so fun and clever. This year I came up with four different subjects. Each of these subjects were refined and perfected after bouncing off the ideas to several key members: Harold Williams, Graham Smith, Tom Beagles, and Nicholas Hasandras. Be sure to check out each of…

Steve Herron talks about his experience on his first set with Moth to Flame for some Crash the Superbowl Doritos specs that the team filmed this past weekend.

I have been M.I.A. from the social media space in a while because I have been running around shooting various spec commercials and a project for the University of Texas as well. It has been a good few months for Moth to Flame Films — just extremely hectic. My room looks like a tornado hit it and I look like I have been hit by a bus half of the time. School has been insane as well. Overall, crazy. Good crazy. Busy crazy. We released our Coors spec commercial, but unfortunately did not place as a finalist. About 2 weeks…

One of the most amazing experiences I had was attempting to go spearfishing and to film while spearfishing, in California.

The first few days of Los Angeles have been fun. LA welcomed me with open arms by showing me how difficult it is to park anywhere without getting a ticket. There is an interesting vibe in this city. Never have I been surrounded with so much art/entertainment based content. From street signs that say “Rent for Parking or Filming” to film sets, and crashing my friend’s Memorial Day party (filled with Actors, Writers, etc)… it has been an entertainment industry overload. This environment is inspiring, yet overwhelming at the same time. I feel so thankful to be surrounded by so…
