Cisco


Work is good! Two bookings in the same week! Sweet!
Today I shot an industrial for Cisco Eos with Westernized Productions. Marcello (Director) and Brandon (Producer) Grande, their real last name, are Italian brothers and great guys to work with. Had a great day with all cast and crew. Even got to hang with a friend who was also cast on the shoot.

I played a web developer working with new software (Cisco Eos). I got to shoot on a green screen with images and animation being added later in post-production.


Here's a look at the story board for an idea of some of the images to be added later.


Then I got to return to Crescendo Studios where I also was able to reconnect with some people I've met in the past. I was there last year for another recording session
of which you can see I'm wearing the exact same shirt. Nice.
All in all. A great day. Great production. Great people.

Old Spice

This week I Shot an in store commercial for Old Spice, by Premier Retail Networks (PRN).

My hand plays a "major role." I felt like David Duchovny's hand model character in Zoolander. I had to place the deodorant in and out of the locker and try to "hit my mark," every time. I had to have a manicure with "shiny clear polish," and man, it felt like my hands were glistening (nice word huh?) like some Rainbow Brite doll. I was a little self conscious about the nails, but I guess it's protocol! :) The other hilarious part is that my acting role this time around was playing a basket ball player.

I can barely dribble, but it actually worked great cause my character is supposed to have a locker room ego. I'm bragging like I "had game," (all because of Old Spice). I try to show off by spinning the ball and it flies quickly down to the ground, and I eat crow. It didn't take much to act like that, since I can't spin the ball in real life, anyway. It was perfect.

This Old Spice Ever Clear deodorant ad will be playing nationwide at at Super Walmarts with end cap displays starting May 4th.
