The audition was fairly easy...simply spray the bottle with the left hand. Sounds easy enough, doesn't it. Well, it wasn't. It was so hard that I got a text later in the day from another hand model asking if I had as much trouble as she did. And I did. It was hard to do. Odd how small daily things that we do without even thinking about it can be so difficult to do for film. It had to be a smooth action with no shaking or looking like there was any strain.
I wasn't completely pleased with my performance but I smiled and laughed and kept on going with what the director wanted me to do. and then I went home and got ready for the shoot that I had the next day.
Tuesday I shot the new campaign for Entity Beauty. It was a great challenging shoot. The art director wasn't sure what the final layouts would look like so they just wanted to capture a lot of different hand positions. and we did 700 different shots. One hand, two hand, this way and that. It was fun to be given the freedom to be creative instead of just pointing to the on/off switch or holding the coffee cup.
The client for Entity Beauty is also a very famous manicurist and nail art specialist. He has won the World's Nail Art Championships 8 times. & he is an incredibly hyterical and wonderful person. I really enjoyed his company and loved the interaction between the photographer, myself & him. He would say wonderful things like 'grrr baby be the lion' to inspire a position or suddenly - 'delicate, delicate, catch the waterdrops'
It was fantastic AND the nails. oh yes. I loved them.

I was sad that I would have to take these off to replace with the natural color that I always wear. Then I got booked on the Axe commercial halfway through the shoot and stopped caring about having to remove the cool polish.
I was a little nervous heading to the commercial shoot on Thursday, remembering how hard it had been to push the spray button down. I was in luck as they had one of my favorite prop riggers on set. Peter makes things so manageable and doable. I am always more relaxed when I see him. The shot would be me twisting the top of the bottle and spraying with my left hand while holding the bottem of the can with my right. And we would be doing that with 12 different types of the bodyspray.
12!!!! 12!!!!! 12 different commercials.
I went to set thinking I was only shooting one commercial. I called my agent to confirm and yes it was 12 different spots. and the new spots for the Axe Bodyspray products are hilarious. I got a sneak peek before we started filming. I can't wait till they are on the air.
