We are thrust into the filming of a TV commercial plagued by mishaps. First, the spokesperson talking about the exciting new Poker Lotto game gets too close to the camera, forcing another take. Next, in mid-pitch, the spokesperson stops to answer his cellphone.
Necessitating yet another take is the lowering of the boom microphone into plain sight. When the director off-camera says “boom,” the spokesman thinks he’s being given direction and utters “boom” twice in dramatic fashion.
Finally, all is going well until a wall on the set falls, revealing a crew member chomping down on a sandwich.
A super applying both to this shoot and the new BC Lotto game appears which reads, “It’s good to have more than one chance.”
Brian Lee Hughes of OPC directed this :30–part of a campaign which also includes another :30, six :15s as well as extra outtakes and an extended bloopers reel–for agency DDB Canada, Vancouver.
Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."

"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
