After spending the pandemic getting back into (becoming obsessed with) card collecting, I was happily shocked when I was approached to direct an eBay commercial centering on trading cards!
Thought some folks in this community might be interested. Here it is: http://petelevinfilms.com/ebay

Nicely done. Do you own all those cards, or did they provide the "props"?
-------------------------------
I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Most were on loan from Burbank Sportscards, an incredible store to visit if you're ever in Los Angeles.
First animation job I've ever worked on with an armed security guard on set because of the value of the cards! The slabbed Tom Brady alone is listed at $85,000!!!

I actually lived in Burbank for a couple years, about 20 years ago, but wasn't actively collecting then. Apartment on Olive Ave., basically right across from Nickelodeon Studios.

Very nice production. Love how you mimicked the athletic moves using the cards.
Did the guard follow you everywhere?

Thank you!
The guard was bummed because he mostly had to stay outside in the parking lot and he wanted to look through the cards, too.

Fun, but where's the 6-digit Jose Uribe? That's Ebay after all. :)
