Football Commercial Shoot

Yesterday I took filmed a behind the scenes segment at the commercial shoot for the new BYU 2008 TV spots. It was a interesting process to be involved in. I got there at the shoot at about 8:30 am to get set up. I shot some interviews with the directors and some of the other staff. Players showed up around 9:30 and we began shooting the commercials. They did two commercials during the day that where based around this years football theme of "The Quest for Perfection" The concepts for the commercials were really cool and watching the crew work with their high-end equipment was really fun. It was also funny to watch the players in their down time as they sat in the tents and ate and played WII. They got pretty into the WII sports and there was a lot of trash talking going on. I will be working on editing my footage this next week and hope to have a finished product by the end of next week.
