Shooting day arrived and the studio picked up the set. I was
invited to the shoot and followed them to the location: it was
an interesting process to watch. The photographer removed or
repositioned cactus and plants to get a better shot and we also
removed a line of rock casting that I had placed along the back
edge. One of the casting ended up over 2’ behind the set held in
place with clamps. All of this was shot against a red sky backdrop.
It took over eight hours of shooting to get a 30 second commer-
cial and this didn’t include the edit time!
This commercial was for a Subway® sandwich called the Bull. I
was amazed to see my work close up with real humans walking
through the realistic scene. In the scene I had placed a Vulture
on top of the car, but they inserted a real vulture taking flight.
You couldn’t tell the difference from the models!
