Play-By-Play Commercial Shoot for the Next Two Weeks

9/05/2009 04:24:00 PM

For those of you that like the behind the scenes content, prepare for a deluge.

I'm off to New Zealand to shoot a campaign literally this minute, and for the next two weeks I'll be giving you the absolute best play-by-play that I can here via the blog, on facebook, and on twitter. It's a huge challenge while I'm working the super long shoot days to pull this off, but I'm going to give it my best shot.

I've been informally surveying many readers for the past 6 months about what kind of content you want, and how you want it served up, and what I heard loud and clear was that amidst all the talk on creativity, the advertising industry, and general photography/pop culture musings, you still want as much of the core that this blog was founded on: the best behind the scenes look I can give. I asked if you preferred that I polished the content for easy digestion, and you told me that--if it was between getting it polished in 6 months, or getting is raw right away--you'd take the latter any day. So that's what this will be.

I'm off to the airport. Lots more details and a whole lotta stuff to come...I'm now late for my flight - Kate, Scott and Dartanyon are looking at me like I'm nuts...

QUICK UPDATE FROM LAX:
1. Send in questions via comments below, facebook, or twitter and I'll try to get to as many as I can in followup posts, vids, etc.
2. I'm pulling this together on the fly, but the plan is to have just the overview stuff happening on the blog, with the gory details via Twitter and Fbook...

Definitely exciting news! Watching your behind the scenes footage has inspired me to do some of my own.

Watching how you deal with the whole scope of a project really helps evaluate my own process and I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos.

Looking forward to seeing more cool stuff!

I'm really looking forward to this too Chase, can't wait! :)

As a rather noob photographer which is starting to get some (smallish)commercial jobs, I love to see how things are done in the big boys world :).

My ideal posts: every single detail, from how you got the job, what aspects are in the legal contracts to how you pick the models, how you determine your fee but especially how you get ideas for the job. Some RAW/Tech videos are ofcourse also very welcome :).

Thanks a lot for sharing! :)

Brilliant that you've got a gig in NZ, but sad that the client is flying a team half way round the world instead of having a local team do the work. As great as your work is, I figure there are others on this side of the planet equally capable. (I'm not referring to me ;)

Not your fault of course, the client has asked you to go to NZ... who wouldn't take the money & travel?

Sounds great Chase, however I reckon the crux of what people are looking for is how to be in the position you're in, and the tough answer there is that whilst we should all continually improve our skills, knowledge, technique and creative ingenuity, there will only ever be a handful constituting the cream and the crop.

Fair play to you for being one of them and sharing EVERYTHING so generously, see you on the other side Bro ... one day!

Good luck in Oz/NZ.

I agree with Tom. What makes you so special, Chase, is that you are so willing and open to sharing EVERYTHING. It makes us little people feel good when we know this.

We all, myself included, dream of getting to where you are.

Thanks for all the tips, techniques, videos, twitter updates, facebook updates, blog updates, etc.

Wish you all the best, always.

Good luck. There's a great thrill working away from base with its' own set of pressures. You have both my admiration and sympathy in equal measure. Go for it and good luck for the shoot.

Great to see your back in NZ, hopefully you get some time to shoot a few more landscapes to add to your series.

I'm based in Queenstown so would be more than happy to help out in anyway for the experience you could offer. All the best with the shoot, Shaun.
