Was told to shoot myself dancing down the street...
Got the job.
- This was shot in about 15 minutes at the end of a day of shooting the independent feature "Wrong" (my 2nd film with writer/director Quentin Dupieux). Quentin let me borrow his Canon 5D and the assistant director shot it by walking backwards and manually focusing as he went. My cellphone, in my hand, was playing "Stayin' Alive", but when I edited it together I switched that out for "Blue Jeans" as I had been told that they may use that song in the actual commercial. It took me a couple hours to edit it down to this length, and I just chose my favorite moments.
You can see the finished commercial (for the UK only) at:

Having seen the finished ad now, it looks like you gave them a lot of the bits that ended up in the ad. Really good ad, mostly cause of you (though those gymnasts and trick riders add a lot too).

Really fun and happy-making. I'd've shocked if you hadn't gotten the gig.
