Adidas “Under Pressure”
Jogging around town and avoid getting run over:
One of the greatest things to ever grace the Indie-Film world was the Nikon D90. Bulky cameras made it near impossible to film certain scenarios. Since the bulk is gone, I decided to hit the streets with the ever so tiresome concept of someone jogging for an athletic brand. With the played out concept in mind, the only thing that would separate this jogging spec from the others would be some good ol’ cinematography. Things start off smooth. We would setup, film and move on. Once we got to Hollywood, it all changed. While filming a jogging sequence thru the crowd, I rode my skateboard to match the joggers speed. I almost collided with a group of foreiners twice. That seemed to have pissed off security, so we booked it. We began to head toward the city. The Downtown L.A. shots proved to be very challenging. I had a friend (Schiller) take the wheel while i hung out of the passenger window to get shots. In between almost falling out of the car, colliding with a post, and the jogger (Mike) almost getting run over, we managed to make it to a bar in one piece.
