re: VW Ad
Cool ad - what was it advertising? There were some pretty decent production values there, not just some joker with a video camera.
VW shot part of an ad for the Touareg SUV right here in Chilliwack last fall, fake snow and all to stand in for Aspen. It was amazing to see how much it took for doing a few seconds, catering trucks, a crew of 150 or so, tons of equipment, actors, extras... the First Assistant Director said it was almost as big an effort as doing a feature film, just over a shorter time span.
