Last night we filmed a new Toys for Tots commercial with KARE-11. We filmed outside in the early evening with a slight mist and cooler weather, but fortunately they did have the area covered. It was a good time. While the marines were able to stand uncommonly still, the four of us had a closer resemblance to the child actors. We did manage to stay warmer that way.     It’s amazing what television can do with a small space, minor decoration, and the right angles. To make our music line up with the camera shots,  we had to relearn a slightly different version of the song, which we’re not sure any of us ever really got right. The commercial should be airing around the holidays (that’s in Minnesota for those of you outside the immediate area), so let us know if you happen to catch it. Hopefully, people will donate a lot toys in spite of our lack of photogenicity…photogenicality…what we look like on film.  J
