This week we’ve been shooting stills on the film set of a TV commercial for a range of range of educational products from Show-me Boards. Commissioned by the production company Skeleton Productions we took over a local primary school on a Saturday for a full day of filming and stills. With a cast of around 15 kids, a couple of teachers from The Actors Workshops, make up courtesy of Clare Gregory, and camera work from Toothpix, there was a smorgasbord of talent present for a productive and creative day.
The focus of the photography brief was to capture stills of each scene from the advert, with a heavy focus on the Show-me boards. There were also a couple of extra products to get some great shots of the kids using and then a few behind-the-scenes shots of the crew in action completed the photography requirement. It was good fun to collaborate across these different disciplines and watch both the actors and film crew in action.
The stills photography will ultimately be used by Show-me Boards for marketing and promotion featuring on website and sales catalogues.
