Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone had a nice Monday off.  Sure makes the week go quickly. Maybe a little too quickly, I’m so behind….

Awesome week this week…here are the fun little details.

Tuesday was my first shoot as a production manager with the national camping company I’m working with. It was a success. I think the most worrisome part for me is that all the models will show up. Having to rely on others is hard at times since that’s the one factor I can’t control. Everyone got there, the shoot went off without a hitch and I think the client was pleased. We have another one tomorrow and one on Monday of next week as well. I’m doing wardrobe on the one tomorrow as well so that’s been fun.

Wednesday was Circle K day. I Love Circle K day. We filmed another commercial since they changed their big drinks from Thirst Buster to Polar Pops. We’re supposed to film a few more later on this summer and then I’m doing some car wash videos for them as well. Yay. Love Circle K. They’re so fun to work with. Very creative and funny people.

Today was fun but a bit stressful. I had a commercial I filmed for a law office in Boulder at 9 AM and then two more commercials for Sphero, a robotic ball controlled by an iPhone. We had one more we wanted to film but we ran out of time since my fake husband, Steve again (refer to the behind the scenes tab), had to go back and film another scene for the law office commercial where he played my ex husband. He’s the same guy that played my husband for the American Recreation shoot. So I guess we do well together, or not together. 🙂 The Sphero guys have a few more commercial ideas so I’m going back up to Boulder either tomorrow or Sunday to do a few more.

Tomorrow I have the another shoot that I’m managing and a few meetings for my big two day shoot next week that I’m managing. We’re coming down to crunch time and are finalizing models and locations. I love to see it all come together but right now I have so many details in my head that I wake up at 3 AM and send myself emails to remember to do stuff. Check out our amazing photographer Tim Kemple at www.timkemple.com.  I’ll post some behind the scene pictures from that shoot since it’s going to be fantastic. How could it not with Tim behind the camera?

So, that’s this week. My computer is dying so I must find a plug. Next week is going to be CR-A-Z. Shoot again everyday. I booked a Wal-Mart commercial, too. For some reason that cracks me up. I play myself. Apparently I’m good as myself. Who knew???  On Tuesday we have a kick off barbecue for talent and staff for our Wednesday and Thursday shoot so it’ll be early to bed since we’re shooting from sun up to sun down. So totally cool. I LOVE IT!!!!

Below are some pics from this past week. The first is Circle K Alex. He is an awesome actor and an up and coming director in LA. Watch for him, he’s going places!  The premise is he hears noises and thinks I’m cheating on him in the bedroom but I’m actually just bouncing up and down on the bed with my Polar Pop. Yes. I enjoyed this role. Part dingy, part bouncy and totally thirsty. Again, played myself.

The second one is from my lawyer commercial today where I’m fighting with Steve over custody of the kids. I think he wins. Notice the same shirt from the picture below. This is my new standard outfit for when I’m told to “bring work clothes”. I don’t even unpack them. They’re in a little hanging case that I just carry with me. How’s that for efficiency??? I so impress myself.
