Ebay: Civil War - Behind the Scenes at the Ebay commercial 2008

A behind the scenes look at the making of the Ebay Civil War Reenactor commercial as seen by the 6th New York Independent Battery. The battery makes it's quick 2 second appearance at the beginning. The commercial took one day to shoot (5am to 7pm). Artillery and cavalry units appeared to be the only actual reenactors...most of the others were extras. www.6thny.com

But, ultimately, the hardcores are funnier.

Boo, I wish they kept the samurai in it :) would have been funny to see it progressively farbier

Is the guy dressed like a soldier at 31 seconds Jimmy Jennings?  Looks just like him! Right?

The British officer's uniform is sooooo bad. Looks like something off EBay...

oh wait-

I think that would've been a little overkill, though it cracked me up to see him in there, too :-)

farbs really make hardcore reenactors laugh!

Yeah, the samurai was pretty cool, but I guess they thought they had already gone retro to the 18th century so it would be the same joke basically going to the 16th century ( and would people really get the "fighting the rebels" bit as well?)...using the segway took it to the 21st so I can understand what they were doing.

Anyone think the red bearded guy (Phil) looked just like the cable guy in the FIOS commercials? I swear he is the same guy.

I do some Civil War reenacting and that was hilarious.
