Hey Everyone,
I just got done today with an on-camera shoot for a national commercial. Should be on ESPN and ESPN 2 either next week or the week after. I was told it will air at least 5 times. I was the main character and wow it was a lot of fun.....very hot under the intense lights and being outside....but very fun. The commercial is for a national tool company (I will advise what company closer to when it will air since I want to be sensitive to the company etc).
It was a great concept and the crew was incredible to work with. They had like 15 people on the crew and they were some of the coolest people I have ever worked with. I was laughing constantly. I am truely blessed to have been selected for the gig. God is good.....all the time he is good. I am excited...can you tell!
Once I get a copy of the spot, I will post a link.
Thanks...Ben
