I Am My Ambition Campagin - Shoot #1 (August)

ah vistek =)

excitement.

Kunal is actually the founder of the Impact organization but is running Polar Mobile currently.



I Am My Ambition Campaign - Shoot #2 (September - Day After Return from NYC Ad Week)

RUTV people to help us this time. Robin and Jacky take director's chair along with the guy with the beard there who is in charge of the students he brought. We still help film though, of course.

Discussing the cameras and their frames during the shot.

Hmmm...

Clapper board - gotta love it!

I Am My Ambition - Shoot #3 (today)

Last minute last night, I decided to go and help the production of the "I Am My Ambition" campaign for Impact, an entrepreneurial conference group. Starting out as a simple promotional video, I helped transform this into a full-fledged campaign that will extend further into the branding of Impact. "I Am My Ambition" was a great piece of copy that came about with the help of Shivani Sharma.

Check out her unique site, chickadvisor.com. Solve an existing problem. That's what it's all about.

Anyway, I felt I was too busy to go to this shoot originally, but after realizing it fell within my reading week, I decided to go and lucky I did. In terms of crew, we had a total of 4 people this time. One was the interviewer, two actual crew for production and another who brings in the various speakers. Originally, this was still the case except that one crew member for production became very ill so I basically filled in. My partner on this campaign later came in at 5pm to fill in for me while I did what I was there to do primarily - overlook everything. My partner and I basically serve as the producers behind this.

Yup, so today was shoot #3 and the final one at that. With 7 videos now wrapped and awaiting post-production, the deadline is November 16th for the November 20th conference where they will be featured. During the conference, the plan is to film as many entrepreneurs as possible during the three days. The goal seems to be a minimum of 5 per day. I am not sure if I can do it however being busy with my studies in my amazing advertising program, but if I can, I would at least love to attend the conference.

That's me at the bottom right corner. Gotta love directing!

Our lighting was flawed this time, I know, but I think it will be okay. These are great people too; all four of our entrepreneurs today were! (didn't take photo of person #2 today because was operating the entire shoot at that time).

.

Yup, so with that, the shooting is wrapped until the conference. After we launched the first video, which frankly in my opinion is just okay, we now have more entrepreneurs interested in this than we can film, since it benefits them anyway haha; win-win-win situation.

Final thoughts:

Shoot#1 - 1 entrepreneur only,most professional and exciting and had full control and the best equipment and mildly prepared. At Polar Mobile. Jacky and I + 3 people to help.

.

Shoot#2 - 3 entrepreneurs, had Rye TV ppl to help, was the day after getting back from NYC Ad Week, full control and then some, equipment is great but not like last time. At Polar Mobile. Jacky and I + 6 people to help (yikes)

.

Shoot #3 - 3 entrepreneurs (all women this time), had one Rye TV guy show up while other was sick, equipment was missing in some cases but managed and got things together and solved quickly. At Mars Discovery District. Myself + 3 people to help.

Filming is awesome.
