Title: ESPN Master Commercial Link on YouTube
Post by: Scott Derrick on April 10, 2008, 10:16:20 AM
Hi Everyone,

Got an email from ESPN today with a link to the commercial that we shot for The Masters. I would love to see it in High Def and is was originally shot. The only bee in the commercial is one of my girls. It's an awesome feeling being part of a commercial like this. I am sure I'll never forget it.

Hope you all enjoy it!

Excellent. I have to ask- how is your bee at the masters in Augusta when your in S.C.? Are you luck enough to have hives at Augusta! I also thought Augusta didn't permit women .members!

Konasdad,

It was a real hoot to be involved in the commercial. Got to see the inside scoop on how ESPN works.

Steve,

I have a cheap Nikon digital that needs to be replace cuz it's been dropped a couple of times and has propolis on the lens closure so I have to force it open. I'm no pro at all. There was a crew of ten that did the whole shot and it took me about 12 hours total from start to finish to complete the day. It took about 2 hours to get the shot they wanted. I was only what "Dallas" refers to as "The Expert Bee Handler". Of course I'm not but I played one for a few hours. Hey it paid me $500 buck. I just think is really cool that millions of people are going to see my bee. MY BEE!

People from all over the world will see one of my Girls? CRAZY
