Less than two months ago, I posted about the fake snow in various spots around Savannah for a Belk commercial shoot: What would Savannah look like in the snow?

In that post, I included a handful of iPhone photos of the shoot on Gordon Street just off Monterey Square. I’ll repost those here.

And now Belk has released the commercial, which goes at a really fast pace. You can see the Gordon Street location and also The Coffee Fox on Broughton Street in the 33 second spot, “Gone South for Christmas”.

First a repost of my previous pics, and then the new commercial:

And here’s a video of another recent Belk commercial that was shot in Savannah. Can you recognize the locations?

The first scene is at 700 Drayton at The Mansion, then out in front of The Paris Market on Broughton, then Bull Street in front of Local 11 Ten and the American Legion, then Forsyth Park, and finally the riverfront.

As it turns out, Savannah looks beautiful in the snow, even it is just fake snow.

For a few hours this morning, I attended a meeting of a newly formed committee of the Georgia House that’s making stops around the state to look at the music industry. When I biked back home close to noon, I cam across the filming on Gordon Street, just off Monterey Square, of a Belk Christmas commercial.

I didn’t have a good camera with me, but I did have my iPhone.

On Tuesday, they were shooting snowy scenes on Broughton Street, but I haven’t seen any images posted of that.

By the way, the Savannah Film Office is the local body that facilitates productions like these Belk shoots. I really don’t have any inside scoop at all, but this week the head of that office, Jay Self, has been suspended pending termination for some as yet unreleased reason.
