Recreate Classic Ad With CJ Kirst

I’m bringing the legendary “Hey kid, catch!” spot into the lacrosse world and need a polished-enough proof-of-concept that swaps Mean Joe Greene for Philadelphia Waterdogs star C.J. Kirst.

What I already have
• Full rights to the Waterdogs logo and C.J.’s likeness.
• Raw, high-resolution footage of C.J. shot on a green-screen and in locker-room settings that match the original mood.
• All props, actors and locations covered—no extra casting needed.

What I’m after
Cut the new footage into the cadence of the 60-second Coca-Cola classic (see reference: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VKbCe3Lqezo), match its warm film look, and swap in an energy-drink or soda bottle where appropriate. Clean audio, basic sound design and colour grading are enough; this isn’t a Superbowl finish, just a convincing demo that potential sponsors like Coke, Pepsi or Gatorade can instantly recognise.

Workflow & milestones
Because a past editor vanished after collecting an upfront payment, I need to see a rough cut (watermarked is fine) before releasing any funds. Once the rough cut lands on time, we’ll set the final milestone for polishing and delivery.

Deliverables
1. Rough cut matching the original ad’s structure (watermarked H.264).
2. Final 1080p and 4K masters with high-quality audio.
3. Project file (Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve) with all assets neatly organised for future tweaks.

If you’re confident in recreating vintage commercial pacing and can turn this around quickly, let’s get it done.

If animation is easier, that is fine.
