» The Adelphia Commercial

Last week I've been contacted by Greg, a location scout for a national production company, to see if St. Mark's (my work) would be available for a commercial shooting. After going back and forth, in between Jenny and The Boss Man (Eric), we closed the deal for Thursday afternoon. Shooting started at 1:00PM and didn't end 'till 5:00PM. The premises: The commercial was for Adelphia High Speed Internet, the idea was to compare internet dial up connection to something really slow or lame. Also to create a new slang, well sort of. Anyway, so a line was created to get coffee, it goes out the door. It's supposed to be taking forever. Two girls (actresses) complain using the frases: Girl # 1: This place is soooo dial up... Girl # 2: Yeaaaah... - note that these frases were said in the most obnoxious way possible, like, if you open your mounth one more time lady, I'm gonna punch you! - Not to mention, this went on pretty much for the whole afternoon. CUT! said the director, let's do it again: This place is soooooooooo dial up... Good Lord! Get me out of here! Here is the shot from the camera (or how it's going to look like):

And here are some pics of the whole ordeal:
