Nice ad.

I like the herky-jerky one where CP falls down and there’s that ringing noise, and then he gets back up and flies down the floor.

Oh yeah that one is cool too

That’s Jordan right? I like how they show New Orleans Arena a lot in that.

Two random observations

1. David West’s Shoes. Very cool.
2. That Paul hesitation-cross is so unbelievable in slow motion.

Nike Commercial

I was the Key Set PA on this commercial last fall. It was nominated for a DGA award (Directors Guild of America).

Very cool

Forgive my ignorance, what are the responsibilities of a Key Set PA?

but on this particular commercial it was corralling the 600 extras that sit in the stands and get them changed from Hornet fans to Hawks fans for each section of the Hive so that they could plate it later in editing to make it look like a full stadium.

Wow, awesome

So you were working with them in the Arena itself?

foh shiggidy

Yea, we did the Hornets with CP3 and the Hawks with Joe Johnson, it was when Atlanta was in town (a game we lost). They did the RIchard Jefferson stuff in Detroit and the Carmelo stuff in Denver. We were set up under the Hive in the visitors’ locker rooms. Longs days though, 16 hours.
