Kaywood asked me to direct a commercial for a local Japanese toy store/ fashion boutique, so I have to get down there and scope it out. Brad and James have said they'd crew for me, so I just have to bribe Morgan to run camera. Hopefully the toy store will want to put the ad on TV or at least a website. I have an idea for a sort of macro'd toy teaser spot, but I'll have to talk with the owners before anything like that happens. Maybe I should bone up on my Japanese business etiquette.
Shooting in Goldendale this weekend went well. There were a few snags, but I think for the most part we did really well. The footage looks awesome, and we got enough scenes shot to make the episode work. Brad and I drove Morgan's new baby kitty home and Brad shot some footage of little Hoo climbing all over my car as we drove those 250 lonely miles. Cute little booger, Morgan named her after James' character from this episode, Hoo Sucker the inbred hick farmer.
I blew way too much cheddar this weekend, but at least the shooting went well. Meh, it was worth it. Way worth it.
