Freighter Classic

As a product of the late 1970s/early 1980s, raised by a TV set, I was the ideal victim for all the extensive corporate commercial programming that occurred in my youth. Now, I often dwell on my ability to retain most product jingles I've heard, beat for beat, without being able to remember simple, important historic facts or mathematical equations. I feel as though commercial programming has nearly destroyed my ability to learn outside of simple, tactile exercises. Analyzing this commercial programming and creating my own versions of it, often parodied in both print and video, has been my only outlet to express this deeply-seated sadness and disappointment for programmatic, commercial media.

For this particular piece, I was asleep in front of the TV, abruptly awakened by a model train expo commercial. It seemed extremely hyper and pertinent then. I waited a couple weeks, hoping to see it again but to no avail. I finally found it on Youtube and it was so incredibly tame and calmly legitimate. Disillusioned by the whole thing, I felt compelled to go to the expo and shoot some footage. I eventually made this commercial to deal with the disappointment left by my original perception.
