Toyota

So you want to set a building on fire and have a bunch of wild animals get rescued from said building while a firetruck enters the scene. You’d also like some running footage and detailed shots of your beautiful new car. Oh wait! You’d also love if we can shoot this in both English and Spanish. And while we’re there, can we grab some stills for print? No problem. I got you.

Fun fact: we had a slight delay in our shoot schedule due to one of our central characters, Minnie the hedgehog, not waking up from her nap. I should have known hedgehogs are nocturnal before I booked her on the job!

hot stuff

On this adventure, the RAV4 takes you off the beaten path on a journey to find the spiciest chili for your friend, who insists she can handle the hottest pepper of them all.

Fun fact: the talent was eating real chili prepared by one of the crew members, and let me tell you…that was some hot stuff!

The 90s are my jam

Things got a little nuts. This spot was part of a larger campaign with three unique concepts with taggable versions, in both English and Spanish. Throw some stills on top of that. Then add the music licensing of “O.P.P.” All under $750,000 USD. The cherry on top: with just a couple more shots to go, our main talent had to get rushed to the hospital for an emergency gallbladder surgery. It was a fun week!
