Well I finally got copy of my commercial that I shot during 2008. This commercial was fun because you know you have to be overly excited and a little cheesy. I had the opportunity to go back this week to do a re-shoot of it. Why might you ask? Well I say in the commercial below that 2 million job will be added over the next 10 years. It’s actually changed to 1.8 million so I needed to go back and re-shoot a 30 second spot for 8 hours. This was my day.

My first start was a good breakfast. It’s my treat for getting up that early in the morning. I go to my favorite breakfast joint, IHOP.

They have a new special! Stuffed French Toast with strawberry toppings. I call it now the Bermuda triangle of goodness.

0003_cooking-commercial

Mmmmmmmmmmm…. I ate it so fast.

0004_cooking-commercial

This is my makeup artist. She is married to Bill the tech man and they 2 kids together.

The uniforms I have to wear. I have to wear it only on camera so I can at least relax afterwards. It’s weird because I always felt like I need to get food for people while I wore it. 😉

0007_cooking-commercial

This is the copy for the voice over. I can’t really show it all to you. I don’t want to get anyone fired.

0008_cooking-commercial

I’m trying to taking a picture of myself from the monitor hooked up to the camera. I got unrestricted access to shoot this day somehow.

This was my bread and butter. A stool and smart water. They go a long way in a studio.

0011_cooking-commercial

I really, really, really want to buy one of these cameras someday.

0012_cooking-commercial

This microphone was only one foot from my head. It’s huge and was taunting me throughout the day.

0013_cooking-commercial

The mark on the floor that I can’t cross. I have to stand there for quite some time during takes.

0014_cooking-commercial

My view from where I stand. I see that for 8 hours.

0015_cooking-commercial

Bill working his techie magic on the camera. He is like the wizard of oz. He makes this show look good.

0016_cooking-commercial

Bill was kind enough to take a picture of me during the voice over work. I smile all day long because I am getting paid to do something I love. Also note the microphone creeping in!!!

0017_cooking-commercial

The director makes his debut. He is acting dead because voice over work takes forever and I think the like to play dead around cameras.

0019_cooking-commercial

Todd the director working to get everything wrapped up before the end of the day.

0020_cooking-commercial

The Car ride home in traffic. Its much more dangerous than it looks to take a photograph while driving.
