'I Love NY' Commercial Filmed In Long Beach
City featured among other Hurricane Sandy-impacted communities.
New York loves Long Beach.
The state Department of Economic Development shot a commercial in Long Beach for its "I Love New York" campaign Friday afternoon.
The film crew shot at Long Beach Boulevard beach with Cliff Skudin, co-owner of the Skudin Surf, a camp for people six to 60, during the 2 p.m. hour.
"We're ready to make your New York vacation perfect," Skudin said during the first segment of shooting.
During filming students from the summer camp, ages 6 to 12, were used as background in the shoot, running back and forth holding surf boards.
"This summer New York State is back and open for business," said Skudin during the second take.
The film crew has shot at various Hurricane Sandy-impacted locations around the state, including Coney Island and the North Fork on Long Island.
