Retro Commercials

McDonald’s commercial featuring MJ highlights.

WGN News anchors Robert Jordan and Jackie Bange have been together for many years. This whole thing started out really small and simple. And then along came the internet, and a video camera, and you tube, and here we are with the funniest dance routine since that scene in Big. It’s the original, What News Anchors Do During Commercial Breaks. This one has the nat sound, not cheesy music.

Highlights of Nick’s work include a PBS Independent Lens award for The McCombie Way, the National Geographics “Brilliant Brain”, Robert Greenwald’s “Iraq for Sale; The War Profiteers”, The Discovery Channel’s “Firehouse USA”, TLC’s “Little People Big World” and numerous independent feature documentaries including Hessians MC, Missing in LA & Himalaya Heaven. Nick’s most recent work is being broadcast as a series of documentary style TV commercials for THE HEAVYWEIGHTS advertising agency. For the best part of the 1990′s, Nick shot films clandestinely while being employed to sell GE’s 747 aircraft engines in Hong Kong and Rio De Janeiro. The day his camera case outweighed his briefcase it was clear that a paradigm shift in careers was inevitable. A couple of years at graduate school gave him the unusual claim of being the first Scotsman to receive a Masters in Cinematography from The American Film Institute. — More at www.nickhiggins.com
