 Hmm. Roberta Fallon notes an event in LOVE Park this Sunday which has an interesting premise: “THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF PEOPLE MAKING-OUT IN LOVE PARK… EVER!!” Oh, man, could it possibly beat the Giant Makeout of Skateboarders in 1998 andThe Kennedy Memorial Makeout in 1968?!
This commercial is for a new push of the campaign with a special Valentine’s Day twist. The filming takes place in LOVE Park and starts on one couple meeting at the Park. They immediately start kissing each other. The camera moves and we see another couple meeting and kissing . The camera continues to move and we see another kissing couple and another until we see a ridiculous number of couples all meeting and kissing at LOVE Park, as if everyone in Center City just stopped what they were doing and started making-out with each other.
Hooray, it’s like a high school dance right in Center City! The commercial’s being done by Ted Passon and the shoot begins at 11 a.m. and lasts ’til around 3 p.m. (It’s a one-take shoot, people! This is the Russian Ark of local tourism ads.)
The note says to be on time for the shoot, so I am ineligible to participate.
Update: A commenter notes this is the dude who ran the “Philly Fix My Car” site after his car was flipped post-World Series win. Hopefully there will be cars being flipped in this commercial due to all the love in Philadelphia.
Update 2: This came from a share on Google Reader, but I didn’t notice Erica Palan also blogged about it on the PW Style Blog. Thanks for the heads up, Erica.
