Thought you guys'd get a kick out of this. I come from a pretty sleepy little town in Alaska that doesn't get a whole lot of good commercials produced locally (My company not withstanding I hope). So... we decided to shake things up with our latest campaign for a local furnace company and created a 300' tall furnace that attacks the town of Wasilla. The furnace was created in Cinema 4D and composited in AE. The fun thing is that we decided to go viral, which has been totally unheard of in Alaska. The cool thing is that it's working splendidly and the company that commissioned the ad is absolutely delighted with the response.

Thanks Mikko.
Hey, next time you're in the valley (If you ever come through southcentral), give me a call. I've been watching your stuff for a while and always had you in the back of the mind if we needed Juneau stock.

You still down there or are you over across the pond?
 
I'm across the pond at the moment (note the "location" under my avtar), but hope to return to Juneau soon. And I do get up to the Anch. area when I'm over there too fairly often.

Also, I might be interested in hiring out a sled driver one of these days. You've got the flyer, right? I've got an old Glidecam V-20 which does the trick most of the time but every once in a while I get sick of throwing it on.
