UPSB v3

General Discussion / new commercial looking for GIRL pen spinning

  1. TEKKEN Queen
    Date: Wed, Jan 2 2008 01:12:48

    I just recieved a PM asking if I or any girl on UPSB would like to be in a commercial for Cars.
    Basically, a very short version of what we talked about was that it would start out with a female pen spinning, and then it would "pause" and then someone would start to draw a picture of a car.
    Then it would show Jill Wagner "selling this car"
    The auditions are held in LA on the 4th (this friday) and then shot on the 11th if you make it. Also you will be paid 1/2 a days work
    So if anyone has any questions, just PM me and I'll try to give you more info. biggrin.gif
    (sorry this thread was rushed sad.gif)

    Date: Sat, Feb 23 2008 03:28:16

    I saw it too. I was watching the discovery channel and the first thing was a hand with a pen and I think it did sonic rise > TA. Then it switched to a woman and she was talking about some new vehicle.

  30. K4S

    Ya. It was for mercury cars too I remember. I can't record it anyway and it came unexpectedly. It was done with a silver (unmodded) pen and made in slow motion with a little bit of light trails.

    It's a car commercial and they wanted a pen spinner in it for some reason. All it was was a sonic to a thumbaround. Pretty random if you ask me lol. Just saw it earlier today.

  37. UEDan

  41. TEKKEN Queen
    Date: Mon, Feb 25 2008 02:23:17

    nope
    some other girl got it
    it was between us
    and because she was older she got priority

  42. Tialys
    Date: Mon, Feb 25 2008 02:46:14

    Any particular reason they needed a female spinner?

  43. darkeh
    Date: Mon, Feb 25 2008 02:50:28

    Because they were being a "stunt double" for a female :x

    Date: Mon, Feb 25 2008 03:25:56

    im not sure if she has upsb
    maybe?

    and i dk how they found her. they posted in a bunch of different boards so maybe she is another board
    Tek thinks she was just an actress who found out that if she learned how to do a sonic and a thumb around and got the part.

    ah uv gotta be kidding me i turned around just in time to miss the pen spinning part. bangHead.gif
    The synopsis was "you'll be amazed what you can do with a pen" and then "sign and drive" heard it, didnt see it.
    it's for their "signature" sales event
    http://www.mercuryvehicles.com/shoptools/s...08&zipcode= the girl by the car is the one in the commercial

  49. Tialys
    Date: Tue, Feb 26 2008 02:38:55

    I think that's actually Jill Wagner. Like darkeh said, I guess they needed a girl spinning the pen to make it seem like Jill's own hand.
