Just found this cool still of behind the scenes of filming the Big Jim P.A.C.K Beast commercial, you almost never see stuff like this but the main reason I like this is that it means there are commercials for Big Jim’s P.A.C.K out there!

One of these days I will track these down, mark my words…

I wonder what those guys were thinking while they filmed it. Were they disdainful of the "kid's stuff" or did they have fun?

I always imagined that doing those would be loads of fun. You're basically getting paid to play with toys and have a budget to build some crazy set that is ideal for the toys to be shown.

Me and my friends used to film our own stuff with toys on Super 8. I figured those could be used as any commercial.
