Eric Celeste to Star in iPhone Commercial?
A neighbor friend of mine was approached yesterday at lunch by a woman named Lexi who identified herself as a casting agent. She asked if my neighbor wanted to star in an iPhone commercial. It was an odd question, because my neighbor doesn’t own an iPhone. Lexi said she was staying at the Palomar for a few days as she hunted for iPhone users who had a story to tell about their favorite telephonic gadget.
When I told Eric this story, it got us thinking. Next thing you know, eight D employees were deep into a project yesterday that isn’t exactly going to knock our CFO over with its projected ROI, if you know what I mean. Special thanks to web producer Kyle Kearbey, who edited and scored the video.

Hey, and I want credit for gaffing. You see my gaff work? I gaffed the heck out of that thing.
That spot would have been more accurate if, while Eric was holding his phone in the air at the end, Tim sprinted in and punched Eric in his boys.
Tim was too busy directing the traffic.
**See big shadow of hand telling “extras” when to walk by at the end**
That’s my favorite part…
I lost hearing in my right ear when the light I was holding exploded on set.
It was like John Landis was directing.
Good point, Shane. However, it would have been most accurate if, at the end, Eric had dropped the iPhone in a toilet.
Who is playing the sitar?
