My job this week

I'm working on a television commercial this week. This one is for a national home improvement center.
I love working on television commercials. The pace is so relaxed. The people are so honest and straight forward. Everything they do is thoughtful and based on common sense. They are always so nice to each other. They have the ability to decide something and stick to it. They really commit. You would think with so many different people having to come together to create something, that the decision making process would get bogged down in petty disagreements and bickering, but no, it's the oppposite. They work together flawlessly. It never breaks down like a big three headed monster trying to eat its own tail. Like John Roberts, future supreme court judge, they have no agenda. No agenda but to cooperate and work harmoniously with one another.

And the work, well, advertising in general, and television commercials in particular, are probably the most creative venue available to young men and women to pursue today. Commercials celebrate the independent spirit of America. The brightest and best minds of our generation are working on television commercials.

Haven't you noticed how funny they are? And how visually they push the envelope of cinematic creation? Its inspiring, really, to a guy like me who dreams of one day having a career in the film industry.

And while the midwest is full of talented people, you know the best and brightest of them all, the ones who reallly know what they are doing come from NY or LA. Man, I love working with people from out of town, they have so much to teach me.

And the toys they get to play with? Wow, renting all the neatest coolest gadgets from the rental house is so much fun, even if they never get to use them because they ran out of time. Why we only get to work 18 hour days isn't fair. We should keep going. Like on music videos. They really know how to party on set!

It is going to be hard next week when this job is over and I have to go back to making my little feature films. Oh well, I'll deal with it, I guess.

Where's the bank?

Peace, y'all.
