When they had the promo contest I shot some video of downtown Scranton. I found all of the artifacts that are shown in the opening of the show. (like some others did) I also found the street the office is supposed to be on.

The coolest thing was that the city had up all of these banners listing companies who had sponsored the revitalization of the city. My girlfriend went crazy pointing at one of them and said, "OMG that is Dunder Mifflin" and sure enough we have the video of Dunder Mifflin's banner on tape. They had their own banner as if they were a real company.

Suffice to say that I started editing my video only to realize I was a day late on entering the contest. I had a funny idea with illegal video downloads but I guess it wasn't meant to be.
