You think that they would be especially since they received some recognition for a large company promoting their original idea of doing a commercial. I would figure out WHAT motivates this group of students. Maybe they feel that it is too much work for the risk of not winning the freeze pops. If they like recognition, you could film them filming the commercial. Show their hard work on the news. I did this once, and the broadcasting students liked displaying their hard work of filming and editing. If its individual gain they desire, maybe you could get them a nice certificate or prize out of your broadcasting budget. You could also motivate them for participating by taking them on a special field trip. These are a few ideas. However, they may never be motivated and may be "on" to the next project. In this case, I think you should pat yourself on the back for having a company adopt your idea, and see what else your creative geniuses can explore. Good Luck.
