Maybe it was because I saw the first episode of Entourage season 4, maybe I hated the new RAZR campaign so much that I decided to distant my own ass from that embarrassment. ( I swear, I have absolutely no hand in that disaster. ) I decided to produce my own TV commercial for once.
I've put my savings up on the line for this spot, Lu and his lovely girlfriend Jo provided the expertise. Since they are both from Beijing Film Academy, they immediately sought after some top talents to be my crew, and most importantly.. FOR FREE! All I paid was the bare cost on doing this.
So... Grading in approx. 4 days, I will have the spot up next week sometime.
I only have the pictures for now. Sorry guys, you know me, I decided to shoot it on 35mm of course.
we shot at 798, location wise it couldn't be anymore perfect than this.
Lu's coaching Jo on what to do coming out of the restaurant. We had to bribe this restaurant manager to shoot here. :(
after we bribed the restaurant manager, the local cop came. I have heard so many horror stories with these folks they are suppodedly very very hard to deal with. Then, to my surprise, and everyone else's this police officer didn't ask for anything after learning what we're all working here for nothing. He not only didn't give trouble, he made sure we're ok to shoot for the entire night. The person to the right of the officer was our producer, he only offered a smoke to him.
our camera man, supposedly he's one of the best in school.
Jo, our female lead
