Commercials- behind the scenes

Have you ever wondered how a commercial is done? What goes into a production of a 30 sec ad?

                                                                               these are behind the scenes photos from the Doritos commercial I put together in record time. (the commercial's link is at the bottom of the page, check it out, share it)

Talking about it and actually doing it, will take some energy, some say passion and/or craziness.
But, many are doing it ;)

                                     famous filmmakers started out making commercials

First coming out it the idea and then tamed it down to a "do-able" state can be a challenge.

Some go under the wing of the "elders" in the industry and learn on the job, or read intro to making commercials.

After getting the idea "do-able", think faces. who you want to represent your concept.

Finding actors in less than 12 hrs before shoot time kept me sleepless the night before.

I "saw" what I want, now I needed to get my actors to be available.
Calling, emailing, texting back and forth can be nerve wrecking.

don't do "your norm"




I enjoy working with individuals I know I can rely on.
Getting on set on time- is a big factor.
Coming with the correct wardrobe, helps ;)

aaand.... with the right attitude, can make the producer's/director's sanity stay intact.

I am learning to communicate better. :P I usually blame it on my accent. However, I know my areas that need improvement. Communicating correctly, blocking my actors, getting them to transform, and get into character- is an art!

CHECK OUT FUNNY PLATES and SHARE IT :)

for now, enjoy the sites, and the commercial. ttys more about commercials.

Dragons and Action with Blake The Filmmaker

              I don't remember how I met Blake,


but it seems like I've known him more than a life time. Maybe even two.







  This photo was taken on a set of a music video. He was the steadycam. He mastered this skill.

He is a filmmaker. 


If you are ready for action packed movies, chicks punching bad guys, amazing mixed martial arts, kicks thrown with a great technique, and amazing arsenal of weapons, then you need to make some popcorn and enjoy Blake The Film Maker's movies.

Here he is on Youtube:
Blake's YouTube channel







Every time you see Blake he has a camera in his hand.  Don't believe me?
 

LOOK!

  

Besides that, he shoots kids.

   With a camera.
 
        

 for the new film: The Godchildren






 The cream of the crop was cast and the film was shot almost every weekend for a few months. This film just wrapped shooting and it is already an article about it, in the local newspaper. Check it out!

The Godchildren Trailer



Looking through the cast, I recognized S.J. Laguna.

A talented little fella who delivers the lines like a professional. I've had the chance to work with S.J. quite a few times and each time I was pleasantly surprised. He has patience when changing sets, takes good direction and with every take his performance gets better and better.

It is good to see him evolve. He was in my trailer for Matryoshka's Pillow as the little brother, named Бугер (Booger).

 And if that is not enough,






He just graduated!

CONGRATULATIONS, Blake!






And if that is not enough,

He just got his IMDB credits

And if that is not enough,

 A new film is in pre-production.  An action packed 2 hour movie.
