MORE HOUSEGUESTS

A few weeks ago, we had scenes for a commercial filmed at our house.  
The commercial was for a regional tourism company and it has been airing 
during Reds baseball games.  My husband actually saw it air last week. 
I missed all the action!  
I took our little one to the museum the day of the filming to make sure we were not in the way. 


It was a flurry of activity with lights, cameras, sound equipment, and actors.
The woman in the orange shirt and the man in the blue shirt were the "stars" of the commercial. 


I came home as they were wrapping up this scene.  They did about 20 takes!


They used our family room as the wardrobe room.


After a scene was shot in the kitchen, it became the hair and make-up room.



And as always, there were plenty of snacks to share.  That is my kids' favorite part!


The crew of about 20 people arrived at 11:00 a.m. that day 
and they were gone by 4:30 p.m. the same afternoon. 
I tried to find a link to the commercial on-line, but was unsuccessful.  
I guess I will have to DVR a few Reds games to catch it.

  7. Well, how cool is that! :) I'm not sure exactly where you live, but I am guessing on the Kentucky side of the Cincy area. ;) I live in Virginia but we get the MLB package through our satelite and watch all of the Reds games on Fox Sports Net Ohio. So, would that be the channel the commercial is airing? If so I'll look for it. ;)
