Izen Ears Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Some years ago someone posted an amazing video that was apparently staged. But it's hilarious and I can't find it! It featured a British dude showcasing a whole room of delicate pottery (either teacups or figurines) in glass shelves. As he's speaking on the collection the boom guy gets his pole snagged in the ceiling fan and suddenly the fan sweeps the pole around the room, shattering every piece. I died when I saw it! Sad to hear it was staged, but still a truly brilliant gag, perfectly executed. After searching youtube & JW I can't find it! I think it was titled something like "watch out for this sound guy!" but that search yielded nada. Anyone remember that? Thanks!!

Jim Feeley Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 This is so funny how on earth could that be staged?! Commercial for UK burger chain, Wimpy...they give away mugs with meal purchases. Or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izen Ears Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ah. Okay that makes sense. I so wanted to believe it was real... Man those Brits can really make a commercial! I am so dumb. I could have just read down the youtube comments and seen this link to the original commercial: In higher res! But it's way funnier without the ad part... Carlie you're an angel!

Jon Gilbert Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 FWIW, he's not British, and it's not a British ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Silberberg Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 LOL - Brilliantly done. Showed just enough if of the boom op to let you know he's there. Zooms in . Gag happens , though I'm not not sure how they hooked the boom up so quickly. The give-away is that his mic cable is not plugged into his recorder. Also he pulls the entire fan down from the ceiling.

OmahaAudio Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 FWIW, he's not British, and it's not a British ad. Given the "R39.95" (Rand) it's probably South African, although WImpy is a British company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrider Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I wonder how many takes they did. Re-set would have been a bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
