Thanksgiving Promo
Q: What do you get when you put a porcupine, a beaver, a woodchuck, an opossum, a mouse, a dozen beetles and thousand worms in the same room?
A: One totally crazy Thanksgiving dinner.
Only a few of those animals ended up behaving enough to make it into the spot (helpful tip: it’s hard to get a porcupine to sit at a table when you can’t pick it up) but that wasn’t even the hard part. What ended up being more difficult was the fact that we shot on a Monday and had 3 days to do all of the post (roto, 3D graphics, mix, etc.) in order for the spot to air that Thursday.
Just to be exceptionally seasonal, the voice over artist happens to be the older gentlemen in the cranberry bog in all of those Ocean Spray commercials. How’s that for some extra gravy?
