Ladies, ladies, ladies.


Well, we are currently half way through the casting process for the Aphrodisiac music vid project and things are getting rather steamy at Hi-Gloss towers with the casting of beautiful Russian model 'Karina' who is flying in from Moscow to shoot the promo in early June. We have a stream of stunning women to see in the coming days, what with two leading ladies still to cast...
We are also very happy to have secured Sara Darling as stylist on the shoot. Sara (previous Fashion Editor at Disorder magazine) will be providing some fabulously chic outfits for singer Shena Winchester amongst other decidedly...sexy pieces for our actresses.

We also did a reccy at the first vid location today. The town house that we'll be using is like a large, glamorous white mirrored box with the most wonderful natural light (much to the delight of our Gaffer) and thankfully, we have enough room for some cool tracking shots and the use of a jib (which we'll use during the bath scene, for which I was the stand in, above).
We are super excited! Watch this space for what looks to be Hi-Gloss's hottest production to date...



In other news, Hi-Gloss is set to do a spot of shark diving with a certain celebrity TV presenter. The footage will be used within a new promo piece we are creating for the brand of a rather refreshing soft drink...All very secretive at this stage but looks set to be a super fun (if scary!) shoot.

More news on this soon.

Granny Power!


We recently teamed up with trendy web design company The Late Night Salon for an interactive web page for hot Red Bull rival, Red Rooster. Whilst tucked away in a small green screen studio for the day, we had the pleasure of working with actress Ellen Hussey, most known for her role as one of the famed Shreddies nana's. It was incredibly hard keeping a straight face whilst shooting as this lady was SHARP and said her innuendo laden lines with such relish that some of them were deemed too inapropriate to be used! There were moments when literally shaking with oppressed laughter, we weren't able to watch the monitor for want of completly cracking up. We shot several other characters (The sexy sports coach Roxy and the stiff upper lipped General Rooster) against green screen for the online campaign but twas granny who made the biggest impression (we were shocked and delighted all at once!). The company were thrilled with the virals, which are currently making the rounds via Facebook and other social networks. You can watch more of Granny's films including 'Granny's Guide To pulling' (amongst other amusing 'How to' films) on the new Red Rooster home page, below:
