Amtrak - Holiday
Each year for the holiday season, Amtrak wants to thank their rewards members for traveling with them. For two years I was a part of this holiday greeting. These productions required working within the schedule of live trains, which sometimes meant a shoot day could include four different cities. It also involved using real Amtrak employees as talent, dealing with a real construction site on a shoot location, and bringing a (not-real) stuffed puppy dog to life.
Also I learned that train fanatics are called “Foamers” because they foam at the mouth when they see trains coming. Fact.
