LYNN – When Richard Dalton began exploring advertising options to promote his new pizza restaurant, Diamond District Pizza on Lewis Street, he knew he wanted to create a commercial that would speak to people in the Lynn community.Rather than paying Comcast to create the commercial for him or going off on his own, Dalton decided he wanted to utilize members of the community and provide high school students with the unique experience of creating and starring in a commercial.Enter the Lynn English High School TV/ Media II class, led by teacher Ken Vorspan.Using the school’s equipment and ideas created by the students, Vorspan’s classes are working with Dalton to create two original commercials that could potentially hit the airwaves this summer.The equipment used in the class, along with all other TV/Media courses throughout Lynn public schools, is donated by Comcast.Vorspan had his students split into groups and develop a variety of different commercial ideas, using Dalton’s only requirement that they be “funny but not stupid.”The business owner reviewed the ideas and chose his favorites for the students to work on.”I do a short commercial unit every year, but usually kids go through commercials and pick out one they like best, then we kind of go backwards and break it down,” Vorspan said. “I was getting ready to do that again this year when I got a call from Rich Dalton? One of the challenges for me was that I needed to get everyone on board to work together, because everybody had their own ideas of what they wanted the commercial to be. But now they are all having a good time and every step of the way it has been a really good experience for them.”Speaking at the first day of filming in the LEHS Little Theatre classroom on Thursday afternoon, Dalton, a Lynnfield resident, said he wanted to include high school students as a way to make a difference and bring something positive into their lives that they can be proud of.”I have a son that is in high school and another that just graduated, so I thought this would be a good way to get the kids involved and keep them out of trouble,” he said. “I got a lot of trouble as a kid, so I figure trying to help these kids couldn’t hurt.”Dalton held a pizza party at Diamond District Pizza to get to know the students better and said, while they nearly cleaned him out of food, he was impressed with the students and knew then that he wanted to involve them in his commercial.”When I met them they seemed like a good bunch of kids,” he said. “This is great if the commercial ends up showing in Lynn, then their parents can see them on TV and it is something they can take a little bit of pride in.”Students in each of Vorspan’s two classes came up with the ideas for the commercials, the first involving a spoof of the Item Spelling Bee, and the second titled “True Romance,” which will be filmed today at Goldfish Pond.Starring Dalton, Channel 15 sports announcer John Hoffman and students from the TV/ Media II class, the spelling bee commercial brings a bit of humor into the mix with some creative ideas.After one student spells a word wrong and another faints on stage, Dalton, playing a judge, loses the card with the word the next contestant has to spell, and decides to have the student spell “Diamond District Pizza.”When he opens the box all of the contestants and judges run to the restaurant, leaving the final contestant alone on stage.Vorspan directed the students who took part in every element of the production, from filming to post production.Dalton said he wants to get both commercials done and take a look at them before deciding if he wants to use one or both of them, and he says he is not sure how he will utilize the commercials if that is the direction he decides to go in.Either way, he is glad to be helping out the LEHS class with some valuable experience.”I thought this would be better if I got kids involved,” he said. “This will give them some experience in making their own commercial.”Diamon
