and now, making the second spot, with NATALIA COSTA and NANDA HEMPE -

in today's edition of "inside the director's studio",
the making of amnesia red - the hunger.

perhaps even smokier than the first spot.

begin with something simple.
kiss the window.




with stunner, natalia:



and her companion du jour,
elegant nanda:

digital extreme, the RED camera:


manual extreme, jo strettell applies amnesia red:


manacop and sara d were getting,
well,
out of hand:


it was starting to affect our darling tad:


it was time to get out the hat.



at first,
people didn't know what to make of the hat:


but eventually,
everyone had to try its' magic powers:


do NOT question the power of the hat.






the hat
WORKS.

making AMNESIA RED, the first spot, (starring INGRID SOPHIE SCHRAM AND GABRIEL CHYTRY)

today, we drop into a conversation already in progress,
between some models,
a director,
and their intrepid adventures in commercial making:

hey, ingrid. you look hot.
what say we go find you a playmate?
and maybe make a spot for my reel
about . . . lipstick.


oh, hey. it's gabriel.


maybe we can convince him to join us

in our endeavor.

to make a commercial. about lipstick.

let me try first.

(what? i'm just standing here.)


(my kids were about to film their big scene.
and SO relaxed it kind of made me proud.)


i, on the other hand?
sweatin for 'em both . . .


but they were pros,
exquisite,
wallowing in paul cameron's lighting:




the opening in the can,
we moved to the "flashback".



(ok, that one above is gratuitous. you can thank me with cash.)

ari got the enviable job of applying the lip marks on everything from can to dog to . . .
gabe.



i had obviously not thought that through so well.

oh well.




it was still hot enough
to make us all sweat a little.

this is a centerpiece of my reel.

this is a hint of things to come . . .
