We are not corporate whores
I hesitated to post this because I didn’t want it to come off like we were pushing something off that was paid advertising in reality. (Hey check out Active’s dope new ad, it’s effing insert latest slang here!) Of course, if you are listening Acitve Mail Order, there’s room for you in our banner ad rotation if you you want to buy it.
OK, so Active had an open call to show up for an ad shoot for Erik Ellington. His fans showed up, they shot the ad and documented the process as well. I don’t know jack about Erik Ellington, but he comes off well in the short video, even taking the time to shake every extra’s hand and thank them personally. I imagine if you were a fan of his and got to meet him informally and be in one of his adverts you’d be age appropriately stoked. The ad is slick, but the reality is mundane. If you’ve ever wondered how these things go, spend a few minutes behind the scenes.
Note to Active: You have a dead link to the casting call. All those social networking links are nice, but it would have been a lot nicer if you’d let others embed the video directly.
Eric and his wife are the nicest people- he’s good for the kids, rarely would I say that- but he his deserving of his income. Props for showing this.
I didn’t even know he existed until I saw this. No subscription to the major skate rags…
Glad you liked the video. Erik is one of the coolest pro’s around. We fixed the dead link. We are working on changing the site a bit to show the embed code for the videos also. Thanks for the support.
