Troy Aikman GMC Trucks TV spot

Here's one of six GMC Truck spots I shot with Troy Aikman back in the Superbowl days of the Cowboys. This one featured a couple of his buddies and a live bear. We had a great shot of the bear partially on the roof of the truck, but GMC made us change it because they didn't want legal issues with them saying the truck could withstand the weight of a bear.

We also had a great shot of the bear coming toward camera (me) unchained and unleashed. The bear trainer stood just off camera to throw a chain around his neck when he was within 3 feet of me.

Mike Davis was the audio guy. Troy always called him "Speed". Susan Bell and Matt Cooper were among the crew as well. Agency - The Miller Agency, Jimmy Lee. Directed by Ron Smith. Edited by Damon Crump.
