The story of "Apple Stand" seemingly takes place over the course of a couple minutes but, like many of FBL's spots, the filming took an entire day. The setting for "Apple Stand" was a beautiful location. During production, however, it rained, snowed, was sunny, and was extremely windy - all in one day! Shots had to be filmed in the rare moments when the weather was cooperative. It was a lot of work for the editors, who succeeded in the important task of putting parts and pieces together in order to give "Apple Stand" a cohesive look and feel.
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
VOICEOVER: We didnt have much to give then. Thin crop left us with hardly enough apples to fill the stand. So when they showed up firing them mean looks around the place and staring us down on prices, well I was angry. Didnt seem to bother my father though, he let them set a fair price. Too low, I thought. Then he did more, he had me load another bushel of apples into their trunk. I learned later on that this family was in need.
MUSIC: The greatest gift we give its in our heart, what we believe, the way we live.

Very nice reminder that doing the right thing, especially for those that can't quite make it by on their own (despite their best efforts) is always worth doing.
James from NH JUNE 13, 2014
Care for others in anyway possible. Even the smallest gesture can mean a lot and hopefully it gets past on...

FBL has a Spanish website too (www.unavidamejor.org) with TV spots in Spanish.
Sergio G. from Santiago, Chile NOVEMBER 8, 2009
I had seen your spots before but I never knew the source. Now I'm a FBL fan. Sadly I live in a Spanish language country and it would be wonderful to share all this spots on TV here in Chile. With "the Race" tears came to my eyes.
Angela R. from North Central Washington MAY 5, 2009
I'm on your site today, as a faithful FBL follower, because I've become disenchanted with the lack of morals in my small town. Your ads continue to inspire me to believe that there are more good people in this world than there are bad. This, in particular, is an ad that reminds me to give to and care for others as a way of "fighting back." Thank you, FBL, for the constant reminders. Love seeing your ads on television.
Maverick G. from Mabry Middle, SC FEBRUARY 19, 2009
I agree with Nicholas.
Tommy H. from Markham, Ontario, Canada FEBRUARY 10, 2009

This is a very great site! I saw the Cafeteria Spot on CNN and than I took a look on this page and I saw the other spots...just great! It's sad that there are no spots like this on German television!
