The kids made some cool birdhouses at their workshop and hung out with the grandparents during the morning, then Tim took the kids to Allie's soccer game at 1:00. After that, it was on to my sister's house, where Allie had arranged for the kids to sleepover. Tim hung out there for a bit, then did some driving to and fro, all while I was working on some commercials for the antivirus software Sophos.

The location was on Newbury Street, and since I drove in early to miss traffic (and boy, did I!) I was quite early for the call time. I decided to walk around the Boston Public Garden for a little while and drink my coffee.









This squirrel (and three of his friends) ate my cheese-its out of my hand:



they were very cute. :)

Headed in to the advertising agency where we were to film all day:



They had quite the view from their offices:







and the character for the commercial was also extremely entertaining:





It was a fun (albeit long) day.

A little idea of what the set looks like behind the product you see is this...here is what one particular scene looked like:



and this is the "behind the scenes":



Got to work with a green screen too:
