Samsung Hearts Kailua

On Wednesday, there was a strange occurrence in the neighborhood as a film production crew settled in and marked off stretches of roadway.

Had LOST started filming its final season? It couldn’t be since missing were the telltale white trucks and precursory set dressers. Additionally, there were no sightings of Jorge Garcia, Naveen Andrews, Josh Holloway, Henry Ian Cusick, or Sonya Walger. And most obviously, when were there Asian bikers on LOST?

So what was filming in the hills of enchanted Kailua?

Can you believe a commercial for Samsung? Yes, that Samsung, producer of televisions, home appliances, digital cameras, and other electronics. Yet this commercial featured bikers and a bicyclist carrying french bread in a basket. Even I can’t figure out this pulp connection. Somebody at Samsung must love Kailua!

So if anyone sees an upcoming commercial for Samsung set in a residential area with some bikers, please let me know. Thanks! It might look like this (from a reverse point of view. Wow, iMovie 09’s video stabilization feature is awesome!).
