Default Chuck Storm Commercial

So I'm watching Lingo and what do I see on my TV but CP reporter Chuck Storm running into a pole during a newscast. Looks like LA Flames Fan is starring in the new TrueCredit.com commercial. It was kinda surreal seeing it on my TV so unexpectedly!

We actually ended up shooting 9 commercials for them (through their ad agency Cramer-Krasselt) as well as licensing the Chuck Storm video.

It literally happened over the last two weeks, I can't believe how fast they got them out!

Funny story, I was sitting in the dentist chair getting a root canal and they have CBC Newsworld on...I look up at the commercial and sure enough, there's our hockey player blooper...I would have jumped up, but I was in a precarious position.

The one you did with two dogs going for a walk is brilliant. I watch it a LOT. Always makes me smile.
