Movie production today at dog park?

Got a tip that there might be some filming going on today in I5 Shores.

I heard that there’s some sort of movie production under way by the dog park at Boren & Pine this morning.  Have you seen it or heard anything about it?

I’m traveling today so can’t make it down myself — pictures, please :)

i talked to one of the rent-a-ruminant guys yesterday, and he told me they’re shooting an insurance commercial today.

If so, please enjoy this shot of the goats, who were there to star in a Pemco ‘we’re a lot like you’ commercial:

When I walked by it looks like they were having trouble herding them for the shot.

Yeah, someone involved with the shoot told us that they had the goats run down Pine and into that green space by the Interstate, but that the goats tried turning into the dog park instead (?).

Just imagine what the hair and makeup truck was like!

It looked like they were trying to make that hillside by I-5 look like the countryside: they’d bought in lots of portable greenery, which kept moving around (Birnham Wood style). There were a couple of herdsmen with long red crooks, and a very efficient herding dog.

I feel a little funny sharing this, since it almost seems like I’m endorsing this company what I’ve barley heard of, but I got this comment on my blog today, and thought that if anyone (J?) was still following this story they might like to see it:

Baaaa!

Hello. Yes, you are right about the goats. My name is Rod Brooks, NW Marketing Guy at PEMCO Insurance. The goats you saw will be “stars” of the small screen (in HD) by spring. As you reported, you found us filming the next in a series of commercials that feature our NW neighbors… including the interesting, quirky, and eco-friendly lives that we live.

I can’t say more about the goats or the commercials just yet. The snow and ice storm didn’t make things any easier for the production grew, but apparently the goats were fine with it.

I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the mention in your blog. It’s great to see the comments that the PEMCO campaign continues to create. In this case, even before the commercial is on the air. Not baaaaaad. (Sorry, couldn’t resist).
