Lottery

So I''ve been MIA on here for a while. Not that I think that anybody noticed, but just in case you were wondering what I've been up to I thought I'd give you an update on what's been keeping me so busy. I spent most of March working on a set of commercials for the Kentucky Lottery. These are the alternate cuts that are slightly different than the ones on air. Here they are:





This one looks like continuous shot, but it's actually 4 different takes. Can you tell?



The actor in this spot kept looking around. It looked kinda odd, so we put a fly in.

Seriously?

Even though this article on CNNMoney was posted on April 1st, it doesn't appear to be an April fools day joke. Am I missing something? Some woman seriously asked the question:

The man I love is married to another woman. He wants to leave her, but he says that he can’t afford to get a divorce - that he’ll lose his house and end up with huge child support payments. I have the resources to help him out. But I’m wondering, is it ethical for me, his girlfriend, to subsidize Danny’s divorce?

If this woman were a bank robber, she'd probably loose sleep at night wondering if it was ethical to waste gas by leaving the getaway car running during her heists.
