VERDICT NEWS: EASTON NYC SHOOT

Sup y'all...so keep your eyes peeled to the Verdict Blog and the Easton Lacrosse site to see the pay-off from last week's commercial shoot in Brooklyn. Easton assembled a real-deal production team to shoot Easton Lacrosse's first commercial/viral video, which will be up in the near future. On hand was director Evan Bernard (who directed the Beastie Boys' 'Root Down' and is also immortalized in the song 'ill communication:  'Drivin' the lane like I was Evan Bernard.')

After two freezing days outside in the BKLYN we moved into a soundstage and captured some sweet ultra slo-mo stuff. We also got a drop-in from Jack McBrayer, who plays 'Kenneth' on NBC's 30Rock.

All in all, an awesome week. Stay tuned!
