On the Set of the Mancini’s Sleepworld Commercials

We spent the better part of last week filming the new set of commercials for Mancini’s Sleepworld, and boy did we have a blast! Delivery crews were on set all day building bedroom sets and our talent was phenomenal! From two year old Camille to the ninety year old Ceil we could help but enjoy this production take place. We laughed, we worked hard, and at the end of the day we knew we had a finished product we were proud of.

SanDisk Mobile Lifestyles

What goes behind SanDisk Lifestyles Video Shoot 004creating a 60 second piece that shows the lifestyle use of a SanDisk Flash Memory card?   Well take a little peek and see!

We had several scenes for this piece, all shot on the same day in different locations in San Francisco.  A downtown loft, a taxi cab, on a city street near a bus stop, and inside and outside a San Francisco nightclub.SanDisk Lifestyles Video Shoot 005

We had some good looking talent, many extras on hand, and a crew that could wear many hats.

Take a look at some of the behind the scenes photos at our flickr album here:   http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebigpicturetv/sets/72157619930981433/

Copart Direct Commericals

We created a series of commercials for Copart‘s public auto sales service, CopartDirect.  To demonstrate the ease of use of Copart’s service, compared to the annoyances of trying to sell a car to strangers, we had a blast recreating less than desirable car sale scenarios that one might encounter going through regular channels.

Our talent was the multifaceted Terry McGovern, who was in American Graffiti and has been the voice of a Stormtrooper in Star Wars, among other things.  He can be found teaching an Actor’s Workshop here in Marin.

Please enjoy some of our behind the scenes photos and the hilarious “front door” commercial, posted below:
