The making of a great centurion compilation is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch.

There were about 2 dozen people filming an ad, for Danone yoghurt I think, in my building this week. They spent all Thursday setting up and all day (until well after dark) Friday filming.

All this for a 30 second TV spot. The advertising and TV/film industry's opulence is just incredible.
