for my part i wanted to integrate video into one of my interactive projects so mine was a bit special hehe. the rest of them are a bit stressful because theyve been doing it since wednesday. eric and belindas projects are pure mographs and mine is for interactive.
the models this time around are quite good, they seem to know what to do and how to do it naturally, especially mary and rohan.
the wardrobe that we used will be auctioned to us starting at 50% off then going from there. i wanted to get the suit but its quite big for me so, yeah, to hell with it. we always buy clothes / or hire models that are near our size so itll be easier to sell the clothes to us and use the money to buy new ones. belinda's the ultra fashionista in the company so she takes care of the clothes, from buying to pairing to keeping them, which ones are good to keep and... which ones are her size.
my project was about matching perspectives and angles with my stills so that when i integrate them to the project it will be seamless as much as possible. if not then its still easy to manage, the errors, i mean.
out of boredom, we happen to know that threadless is having a sale so all of us bought two to four shirts each. out of boredom we played uno until everyones sick of it and for the most fun one, we get to try the clothes hehe.
so yeah, it was fun, i love studio shoots but a bit tiring because you get locked in a big room for the whole day, unlike when we do locations ones. but at least here we can control the lights and we dont have to wait for the perfect weather. its both pros and cons, but to me the best part is, directing models, theyre so damn hot and i was like: can you do this for me? then shes like: yep, no problem. being behind the camera is good man, seriously, you guys should try it once in a while.

i got the jacket and a - salary man - necktie. i was looking for a slimmer one to go with my wing-tipped shoes. my art director got a full get-up, as well as another colleague of mine.
we posed with flowers old nokia phones, etc. one of our senior designers took the photos and it was very well done coming from a phone camera...
the flowers werent ours, it was outside being forced to bloom... how barbaric is that?
so yeah the jacket was quite nice, i wanted to ask my boss if i can have it.. but then again, its a bit too big for me.
we also did an impression of the gaki no tsukai punishment games, hehehe when you laugh, you get to kneel and bend down in all fours and get your ass whipped. but i didnt get whipped, that would be too hardcore.
so yep, that was friday. ill be off for a shoot in a nearby bar with my colleagues. were really going on full throttle with all the motion graphics + tv-spot-esque projects. im just gonna take a look have some booze, while waiting for the bar to close, because thats the time theyll start shooting.
