HAMLET - The Pitch Man

[Pat McCall]

Friday, I was called in at the last minute to do a bit for the upcoming Florida ADDY Awards Show. I rushed over to Orlando to the palatial offices of Engauge Advertising and was met by the director and crew of frogtreecinegrafix in the Board Room. It turns out I was to portray Hamlet doing an ad campaign pitch to a fictitious client called Fizz Cola. It's going to be used to fill in those moments between prizes being awarded. The team had an appropriate costume for me - along with a heavy sword and a skull for props. After pulling on the "authentic" garment, I waxed Shapearean approriately for the parody. It was all over within an hour and it was a fun diversion. "To be extreme, or not to be extreme - that is is the Fizz Cola motto."
Best,
Pat
