All night shoots for The Cracker Barrel

Our super dooper glasses make us look like bug people!  We say we have to wear these glasses because of the intense lighting but really it is so you can’t tell we are sleeping while sitting up at 4am.  Jimmy Furino and I had a blast on our all night shoot in the middle of nowhere Florida.  We shot from 10pm to 5am!!

Lean Cuisine Spots are on the air!

There are 3 Lean Cuisine spots running right now featuring my handy work. The spot are all part of a ‘Book of Truth’ series that they are doing. Keep an eye out for Myth #14, #22 & #35! You can only see my hand at the beginning opening the book BUT that does not mean that I was being lazy for the 3 days of shooting last spring. I am working on all the food hero parts of the commercial. The ‘Hero’ of a commercial is the shot that shows the food in a state of perfection, the yummiest bite of whatever is being sold

You can see me showing off the cheese in the pizza pull and again in the fork lift. These quick little moments take a lot of amazing people to get right. We were working with some amazing food stylists to get the cheese so perfect.

Nutella Spot is on the air NOW :)

I was very excited to see my Nutella Swipe on tv the other night.  This spot was a lot of fun to shoot as it encouraged finger licking    I am doing the swipe in the shot, spreading the Nutella on the toast.  There was some time spent in the kitchen on set learning the precise pressure and tilt of the knife needed to get the perfect wave in the Nutella as it is smoothed over the bread.

$30 million diamond day

Ahhhhhh Yes! These are the shoots that people associate with hand models. Whenever someone finds out what I do for a living, the first thing they ask (after the George Costanza question) is do I do mostly jewelry ads. There are a lot of jewelry ads, yes, most definetly…. but more often than not, I’m working with food… So I do really enjoy these glittery days where there are men with guns making sure I don’t “RUN! RUN!!” (as my friend Melissa texted me to do when I told her I was wearing a 30 million dollar ring on my finger.)

This was one of those glittery days for Glass Magazine. There were four guys with guns on this set. I didn’t run away

Canon Power Shot Television Commercial

Check out the TV spot that I worked on with director Greg Ramsey.  We had a lot of fun spinning the camera around.  There was a lot of choreography involved for the hand modeling dance though most of it ended up on the editing room floor in post    Super fun day and you can catch me poking my finger in at the end.  I hear this spot is playing before the previews in a lot of movie theatres
