Just thought I'd show it off here. Two commercials we had to make for an assignment on school.
The first one took 3 weeks to make. (including concept making, filming, and a little research.) We had to make a commercial about a bike in as little time as possible. We came up with the concept of bonding man and machine. Doesn't really show in the commercial, but we were cut some slack, the true point of the first commercial was to make something awesome and get used to working with camera's and lighting. We did a lot with the lighting in a home-made studio (School's studio was closed when we wanted to film) and I think it really paid of.
The second commercial took 4 weeks to make (again, including concepting, filming and a lot of research this time.) We were only allowed to show the bike in the commercial for a maximum of 5 seconds, so we had to think of a metaphor. I'm not going in-depth on the concept here, but basically it was a commercial for a bike for mothers of young children.
Anyway, this was the first time we ever filmed, so we were somewhat inexperienced. Luckily, me and an other guy in my group had some experience with filming with a DSLR, and we had one. So we were the only one of all classes that could have a more professional (depth-of-field for example) look in our movie, since all other groups had to use standard Handycam DV camera's.
Anyway, wanted to show them to you guys:

(We had to make multiple edits, this was the one we eventually used, but I actually prefer my own edit more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHRYi63sRfQ)
And commercial 2:
