Ron DeFrece, Applications Scientist Describe the most memorable moment of the ad shoot. The photographer wanted us to relax. Since we're not professional models by trade, we were encouraged to have a couple of beers to loosen up. The funniest moment was between shots, when Jim, dressed in the wacky outfit and buried in the sand with a beer in his hand, started barking orders as if he was some kind of high-ranking director. That image will stay with me for a long time.
