You have questions. I have some answers.
Is the emu in that insurance commercial real or CGI?
The “LiMu Emu,” featured in ads for Liberty Mutual Insurance, has been a big hit for the company, which has gotten requests for emu-themed merchandise and has plans for more emu commercials later this summer. As for how the emu appears in the ads, here’s the word from Jenna Lebel, vice president, brand and integrated marketing for the company: “LiMu Emu is a mix of a real bird and CGI. Live emus were used during the initial shoot on set. The final images of the emu in the commercials are a blend of footage captured from the live emus and our digitally created emu. Goodby, Silverstein & Partners (Liberty Mutual’s advertising agency of record) collaborated with The Mill LA, a creative technology and visual effects studio, to bring LiMu Emu to life. For the commercials, the team created a digital model based on the live emu, which was used to supplement the footage.”
A lot of my friends loved watching the new TV show “The Village” and now we hear it was canceled! It was such a nice show about the people in a building and how their lives entwined with each other. Why was it canceled?
The ratings just were not good enough for NBC. While the show appeared likely to appeal to viewers of the NBC hit “This Is Us,” it “got off to a slow ratings start” and did not really improve, Deadline.com reported. TVLine.com added that even the early numbers faded when the show had to stand on its own, without lead-in help from other, more established shows.
Will “Power” and “Outlander” on Starz be coming back? Why do they take so long between seasons?
