This is a great submission!

It's an awesome story, it's realistic, most people can relate to that (especially in the office!) and best of all it shows off the true spirit of Dreambank.

The extra cherry on the cake is how perfectly this covers the target market listed in the commission. 5/5 from me! Good luck Greg!

Pretty darn awesome. I love that all the stuffed animals are the audience for the concert.

Thanks Greg!

This is a really well-produced entry, Greg. Congratulations!

While I love the stuffed animal audience at the end, I wonder if they cloud part of DreamBank's core message: that it's better to substitute unwanted 'stuff' gifts with a dream-gift.

It might not take much change to the ad to make something equally sweet and even more poignant story. One way might be to show the stuffed animals as gifts from a year before and demonstrate their unwanted nature, then the next year pick up with getting the piano via DreamBank and bringing the animals back out as the audience for the real dream. Hope that's not too much opinion. It really is a great entry.

Charming and pretty effective. My only quibble is the final bit where she is playing doesn't quite work for me because I've heard the piano the whole way through. I'm thinking that I would have had the orchestral version throughout until the very end, and then with the girl's back to the camera, switched to her playing the same piece on the piano. That way the metamorphosis of the music from orchestra to the more intimate piano moment would be even more intimate and intensely emotional (previously the music is in her head - at the end, it is made real)

BTW, Tchaikovsky's music is, of course, in the public domain, so if you could get an orchestral recording that was also free for use (say, a community group), you could still do what I've described without fear of any rights problems.

A bit cute for my tastes,

A bit cute for my tastes, but it drew me in, so it's a good thing. I understood the product by the end of the clip, but I can't help but think a little more emphasis could have been given to the "Dream Fulfilled!" portion. Maybe a tighter crop to the "Dream Fulfilled!" button after a moment?

Besides that, nicely done, and I think I have a crush on the actress.
