| Midnight Red - Upcoming Pop Boy Band |
I originally auditioned for the "Hip/Edgy D.J." role for the music video, but I didn't get the callback. I was sort of bummed but that doesn't stop my grind. Keep hustlin' for the next gig. The day of the shoot, Wednesday morning came, April 18 2012. Still, I haven't received any callback so I assume I didn't land the role. But I get a call from the A.D. at 12:00 noon and she's asking if I was still going to make the shoot. I respond, "I never got an e-mail, callsheet, or a callback with any information." She told me that I am on the callsheet and my calltime was 11:00AM. What an unorganized production company. The A.D. told me I was booked as one of the "Cool Hipster Dude". I didn't land the D.J. role that I was hoping for, but it's awesome to still be booked for the video. So I rushed over to Sun Valley. Luckily, the shoot was only 12 minutes drive from my place in North Hollywood. I got there ASAP to check in with the wrangler and meet with the stylist, hair/mua, and get peppered up for the shoot.
When I arrived to set, I felt like I was in heaven ya'll... I have never seen so many drop dead gorgeous women getting ready for a shoot! Felt like another scene for the Entourage TV show haha LOL. There were only 5 of us Hipster Dudes and over 50+ beautiful girls booked for the shoot. I mean, it makes sense to have nothing but dimes for a boy band music video. It would be quite funny to have a bunch of dudes dancing around the band. I'm glad the A.D. called my cellphone and I was available to pick up and rush to the shoot. This music video is by far the funnest shoot day I've had yet. I met the most beautiful women this day, got plenty of phone numbers, ate bomb food, conversated with awesome people, and made a good triple diggies for the 10-hour day. Good times on the "Hell Yeah!" music video!

In this first part of the video, the band is dancing their choreography in the empty pool below while the featured Bikini girls party on and have a good time around the kiddie pool. I met all the actresses/models who played the "Sexy Bikini Girls". They're all sweet and awesome! Kept me entertained throughout the day! Lunch time with 20 beautiful girls on the table was pretty bad ass! ;)
All of us Hipsters and Sexy Ladies were dancing and rocking out around the empty pool while the band did their thing below. The choreography was quite simple, but the ladies loved it! haha

Lots of downtime shooting this scene. Time to mingle and make some new friends! ;)
It took pretty much the first half of the day to shoot this scene. We did over 50 takes and the band was so tired doing their choreo repeatedly for over 8 hours straight. Dancing = work!
We definitely got the scene down! You can see Olga running to the bathroom cuz we were shooting for hours nonstop, no break till the sunset!
Lots of downtime on set. Just chillin, mingling, having a good time with some beautiful actresses/models. Ana Gavlak and her sister Karoline Gavlak are awesome! They have a blog up and running now about Fashion & Style. Ana, besides being beautiful and a supermodel, she is also an awesome designer/artist/stylist as well.
