Mark,

Pretty little town. I had just assumed it was somewhere in New England, maybe because of the wooded scenes.

I just watched the “Director’s Cut” on YouTube. Some pretty funny extra material.

Did anyone else catch the similarity to “What About Bob” movie? He has the groundhog in a carrier on his chest, while walking in woods on snowshoes, like the goldfish in a bowl (Bob) he carries around his neck.

It was shot forced perspective and the rocket actually had a small sorbitol motor going up a line of a crane. It was not intended to be "NAR compliant" but to show a concept in a short few seconds. Almost nobody who actually shoots rockets is in the NAR anyway.

Burned a cheap one for the ad and saved the AP for yourself.

I am guessing the ad cost well over $120k to shoot for those few seconds.

Not exactly 'cheap' for what was inside those little grains. Ever see sorbitol look like that?

Here is the pre-Super Bowl ad for social media using something 'safe' instead of propellant.
