The Making of the CAF DMWT Commercial (GREAT low-level footage):
If my one experience with commercial making is any indication, that little spot took all day to film.
Auto Zone commercial guys approached us about renting our driveway and garage for a day to film a commercial. For $700 easy, what could I say but OK?
They rolled in around 8am on Saturday morning with at least 20 people, a tricked-out Camaro, and an outstanding catering truck which we were invited to use.
By 5:30 that evening, they had all the footage needed, and we had more food than needed to complete the day.
I've never looked at any film production the same way since.

Ugh. Me either. About 15 or so years ago, my wife talked me into appearing in a training film for the company she works for. It took a week to film a 40 minute video.
Fortunately, the gentle healing powers of time have erased most of the memories of that wasted week from my mind. I ran across it a few months ago and watched a couple minutes of it. They must've put a bunch of goop in my hair, it's light brown, but in the video looked Elvis' or something.
Edit: You can just think of me as the Clark Gable of cargo containers. :P
