John Serves as Catholic Religious Consultant for Hyundai Commercial
John worked as a Catholic religious consultant on this Hyundai ad.
Although he was asked some questions about the script itself, he had no control over it. Most of his responsibilities revolved around helping the art director recreate an accurate reproduction of the interior of a Catholic Church. Some of what he is most proud of did not make it into the final cut (they perfectly created the sanctuary of a Catholic Church with all of the details, including an altar and a tabernacle, where previously none existed). He also consulted on costuming and was available on the day of the shoot to answer questions for the director. The confessional was also brought in and assembled.
The crew was by no means required to do everything he asked, but they did most of it, which was surprising, even if a lot of it didn't make the final cut.
The building they filmed in essentially isn't really a church by any Catholic definition of the word, so he is quite proud of how it all turned out.
