CALIFORNIA - TV Production

Hellooooo!  I promised to be a diligent blogger throughout this experience, but I have never been so busy in my entire life - and I forgot the powercord to my computer in the rush of leaving last week.  A big THANK  YOU to my roomate for UPS'ing it overnight.  Production has been 15 hour days and running around everywhere trying to get things done ASAP (of course).  It has been exhausting and fun all at the same time.  It is so amazing to see this thing through, from brainstorms at the agency and seeing their original storyboards materialize while watching playback of what film will actually make the spot has been incredible.

Where to begin?  We flew into LAX and took the scenic drive up the Pacific Coast Highway to Paso Robles, CA where we shot our first spot of the three total on base at Camp Roberts. The scenery out here is gorgeous.


After a few days of prep work, un-packing,  pre-production meetings, and picking up the cast of soldiers from the airport we were ready to begin filming the "Fire" spot.

Moving to location #2 for the duration of the production today - Los Alamitos JFTB air base in Los Alamitos, CA.  Yay for SoCAL...

MISS ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
