Yesterday morning we had some excitement here at the shop – we did the video recording for our first television commercial! Our neighbors Ambiance and The Ark Toy Co. both advertise with great success on Comcast Cable so we decided to try our hand with an ad of our own.
Terms like Steadicam and Hi-Def were flung around with abandon as our illustrious videographer Dex worked for a few hours taking shots of the store. From sprinkles to knives to Stonehouse Olive Oil, our goal was to capture our wide variety of products – sometimes folks don't realize how much we manage to stuff into our little space.
We were also grateful to have some you, our wonderful customers, agree to be in the ad. Dex got some great shots of you dropping off knives for sharpening, shopping, and generally looking happy in the shop. For one customer this was his second modeling venture – impressive because he isn't even three years old yet! We'll try to include as many of you as possible in the final ad.
Dex says he shot about 45 minutes of video, so we're confident that we'll be plenty to winnow down to a 30-second spot. We'll be working in the next couple of weeks to finalize the ad, and we'll be sure to let you know when it's done, and where you can watch to see it.
