Recently got to shoot Groupon's return to television advertising after three years. I used an Alexa Plus with Alura lenses.

Nice but I have to admit, I was waiting for Key and Peele to jump out. ;-)

I liked the segment where she was parking the plane. Having a scissors for the pizza is something I keep telling my wife I need but she won't let me.

Seriously, nice work as usual. I always look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Ha! Well ya know Don, I do have to fill my off-season with other things! This year it has been a good run of commercials (the Jeff Gordon one below was probably the highest-profile). We are about to start season four of Key & Peele, our longest season yet--22 episodes coming at you in the late fall.

Yeah I've seen that one a number of times and I remember you saying you did that. I told my wife that and she asked if you got paid in cans or bottles. I think she was kidding.

Holy comedy! 22 episodes. That's great. Hey you might be on to something with this camera video filmmy thing. It sounds like you can make a living doing it, maybe buy a house and a car! lol you know I'm using the sarcastic Jewish mother humor cause that's what my mother, bless her soul, always said to me except I think she was serious. Hmmmm. Anyway congrats on the new season.

Hi Charles, great job..as always :) Bravissimo!
Now here is something that i found on Groupon Italy! an interesting one:
Realizzazione di video portrait (http://www.groupon.it/deals/firenze-special/tahoo-filmmaker/36838573?utm_campaign=VisitorReferral)

A filmaker offering his services for....€59,90 !!! he is offering a corporate video .."cinematic quality" ..
"Realizzazione di video portrait in qualità cinematografica a 59,90 €"
translation: we realize portrait video in cinematic quality for €59,90 !!
and then he explain what that includes but i don't want to bore you with details...

Charles, I hope that is not the same amount they offer you for your work :))))) just kidding of course..

I'd consider it--depends on the current exchange rate...!
