Fun with Freeze Frame
Recognizing local LA landmarks in the background of all sorts of movies, TV shows and commercials is nothing new. Neither is skimming shows for MTA buses disguised as city buses in any number of other cities being portrayed (or being able to identify a filming location by the bus stop sign. It’s bad, I know.). In fact, a TV commercial is being filmed right around the corner from my house this weekend! And there will apparently be things on fire involved!
But I was still overly happy to see one of my favorite little hidden pieces of architecture, the Franklin Avenue Bridge in Los Feliz, make a cameo in an otherwise overplayed and annoying Carl’s Jr. ad:
I think when I start noticing these things in quick, 2-second shots, it means the commercial has officially been played on TV 3 million times too many.
