Promo #2

Wow. Been ignoring the blog big time. This video has actually been live for a couple of weeks now. Need to do better at keeping up with this...

The second promo for chrissista.com has arrived! This isn't the follow-up that was originally planned. Got about half way through filming that one, had to take a forced break before finishing it, and then realized in that time that it just wasn't working. Got the idea for a new spot, and here it is.

Many thanks to my costar, Kair Cogswell. A very talented actress and singer that you might recognize from the "Portraits" and "Musicians" galleries on my website. She knocked it out of the park with the voice, reaction, puppetry, everything.

Check out some of Kair's work here!

Now, my other costar. The puppet. Had to seriously MacGyver her. Started with a build-your-own puppet for a foundation, added the sunglasses, altered the included princess gown into a casual dress, took fabric from the second included gown and turned it into the lips, and created my own hair from a 99¢ Store cheerleading pom pom. Even trimmed the bangs. I suppose that means I can put myself down as wardrobe, hair, & makeup in the credits. ;-)

Also, big thanks once again to Todd Drow, for being behind the camera when I was stuck in front of it. And to Rob Lanza, for reading lines and doing a scene stealing reaction in the final shot.

So here it is. Once again, if you like it, please spread it. These are made to attract new clients, and I can't do that without your help. Post it on facebook, twitter, your blog, and even myspace, if any of you are still using it. Thanks, everyone!
