Here's three commercials for Just Lookin' Antiques I found on Youtube starring Muppet-like puppets.


These local commercials were produced and directed by Benjamin Porcari of IBC Digital, Buffalo, NY.

The puppets were custom fabricated and performed by local artist, Cameron Garrity and his company of Daeman College.

The spots were edited by Greg Lontkowski of IBC Digital.

Surprisingly, Nick bears a resemblance to Rod from Broadway musical, Avenue Q without the glasses. http://images.bwwstatic.com/upload/41090/tn-500_43.rod_valentine_10x8.jpg

His voice sounded like Steve Whitmire's version of Kermit the Frog.

Some of those puppets were built and performed by Adam Kreutinger. Gotta give him credit!
