I wonder how many past Pacesetters now rely on Pacemakers...

Great article Henry. I knew you had your own film studio but never knew what you filmed....until now! So when I see a Carl's Jr. Double-Western Bacon Cheeseburger in an ad, it may be your work :)

RTP is awesome because they always had the Classic sit down Galaga and space invaders!

My mom would always kick my ass in those old school top down shooters...

We're surrounded by it all day, smelling it, but almost never get a bite to try. The kitchen staff ... up to 8 (!) assistants besides the head Food Stylist ... usually won't make us a sample, they're pretty busy ... and the picture food is usually inedible. But Henry & production staff/"craft service" feeds us VERY well!

Palero ... I wonder how many of the First Gear members still live at home with their parents, etc. Not really applicable ... ;)

Actually Henry I too (like Mako) thought that was a rude comment towards you.

Yeah, that one was nice ... we got to keep the props. :D ... of course it wasn't DeWalt or Makita.

In the "old days" it was fun doing beer commercials, etc. They would let us keep the often large amounts of props. But now they usually make us return everything. :cry:

I once got a life time supply of cheap household sponges. Actually passed them out to the neighbors. Another time we did a shoot for a new product called "Red Bull." No one like the product so crew didn't even want the cases of cans. Can't believe that years later we pay a ridiculous amount for those skinny blue cans. I had a case in my garage for a few years before I re-discovered it. Mixes well with vodka.

At some bars, you can simply ask for an "Annie Bauer".
