About a month ago, my Midget was in a film shoot – a commercial for NYU Langone Medical Center.   JUST A MOMENT AGO, I saw the commercial on TV for the first time!   It’s probably just playing in the greater New York area, but anyway…

It depicts a couple leaving the church after getting married.  There’s a sight gag involved - the groom is a full foot shorter than the bride.   It’s shot in black and white.   The soundtrack is the song, “This Thing Called Love”.  There’s a bunch of text superimposed, delivering no doubt some very important health information, but this time at least I didn’t read a word of it!   You can see the car for a just a moment parked at the curb, then the last shot is a closeup of the couple getting into the car, shot through the windshield.  

Needless to say I am super excited about it.  I have a “google alert” set up that will hopefully tell me when the commercial appears somewhere online.   If someone sees it online please post a link!

Here are photos that I took at the shoot that day.

After the shoot, I shot a 360VR video of me in the Midget, that I shot as I was driving away up Park Ave.  Watch it in any browser, other than internet explorer.  You can drag the image around with your mouse to look all around.

YAY!
