| Post subject: | Sierra AFLAC commercial |
From the Sierra list: "The word's out now.the commercial we filmed last week was an AFLAC commercial-you know, the one featuring the ever-popular white duck that squawks "AFLAC, AFLAC." AFLAC, by the way, stands for the American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus. Our Sierra 2-8-0 No. 28, three wood coaches, and Sierra caboose No. 7 were operated Monday-Wednesday by the crew of George Sapp, Joe Nemmer and two volunteers near Mile Post 8.5 outside of Oakdale. The storyline is a pseudo "Perils of Pauline" plot, in fast-moving, classic silent movie days style with music and dialog boards.and, waddling along specially-constructed roof running boards atop shorty Sierra cars Nos. 5 and 6, guess who saves the "damsel in distress?" It's none other than a white duck! The large-production shoot included 12 beautiful white ducks, a full-time SPCA humane office, and a highly sophisticated animatronics "duck" that would have made Walt Disney proud. The shoot came off superbly, without incident. It's all coming soon to a television set near you." Steve Some photos here on the Yahoo group: http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Hi ... yahoo.com/ |

Your link seems to be a members-only group. I'm in other Yahoo groups, but this one isn't letting me in. Anyway, I'm sure the ad will be all over TV once they start running it. |
