This fall we got a call from a group of guys headed to our area to film a commercial for Leupold Scopes. At that time the government was shut down and so were the state parks, including the park they were going to film at. They found Bluff Creek, a local ATV riding area, near us and planned to film there next day. They where looking for a Ranger and driver. They found us through a friend at the Chamber of Commerce. The problem was it was the first week in October, one of the busiest weeks of the year for us, and we didn't have anyone to help them. Mark offered our place and Ranger to them and said they could drive our Ranger themselfs. They checked it out and came back bright and early the next morning to film.
The kids and I had to check out how filming a commercial worked. So we watched for a little while.
This is just a picture of the "model" riding around the coalmine.
The guys in the back of our Ranger are filming the 4-wheeler.
This is the scope mounted to the 4-wheeler after 6+ hours of riding around the coalmine. They were testing to see how tough it was. and how accurate it would shoot after testing. I told them if they really wanted to see how tough the scope was, to let Anton play with it for a little while. They didn't take me up on it. :) We enjoyed seeing them film, it's not everyday a commercial gets filmed at your place. :)
