Communications Director Joy Fox and Press Secretary Marie Aberger reviewed the 1 minute, 50 second video last Friday in advance of its Monday release and asked staff working on the new state marketing campaign where in Rhode Island harborside footage of a skateboarder and glass concert hall had been shot, Fox said Wednesday.

And in a follow-up communication, three members of a rebranding committee were assured by this company that the footage in question was taken in Rhode Island, a state that is slightly smaller than Dane County, Wisconsin (1212 sq mi. vs. 1238 sq mi.)  It's not as though there were lots of places to check.
