Where do you start with that garbage? I guess with the negatives...

1. Shot at a time when almost no one was on the grounds (I'm guessing on purpose to make shooting easier) making Stampede look like a little small town fair

2. Shot the rodeo stuff with only two shots of the crowd, The first shot being of a sparse crowd on the small eastside stands, and the other of a 100% EMPTY grandstand (I guess shot during practice or something, again likely to make shooting easier and AGAIN making it look like NOBODY actually attends the stampede

3. Didn't show ANYTHING outside the grounds, even though the majority of awesomeness at stampede is the fact that the whole city gets behind it and parties. You know, that may be something you want to get out there if you're trying to get people to travel all the way here. Because no ones F-ing going to plan a trip based on seeing some a-hole do a poor acting job in an empty stampede grounds. FFS.

Even those first two negatives would completely ruin the whole point of shooting a promotional commercial, but unfortunately, those are just the start of the negatives for that garbage.
