The MTC Commercial Shoot
Today I had the MTC Atheer commercial shoot with Ilham Al Madfai and Shada from Star Academy. I woke up at 7AM and was on the set by 8. The whole shoot took place in an old house/museum here in Lebanon and it was a really beautiful location. The shoot started at 8:30AM and ended 16 hours later at 12:30AM. It was extremely exhausting with only 1 short break for lunch.
Its now 2:15AM and I just got back to the hotel room. I am posting three pictures from todays shoot for now but will try to post more pictures tomorrow with more details.

Cool!
I went on my first TVC shoot a few months ago…That’s when you come to appreciate the work that goes into a 30 second spot! All the work that happens before the shoot…all the work during the shoot itself, and the work after the shoot…
Mine was a 3-days shoot, and although 2 of the days were OK, the 3rd one was also a long one, where we started at 8 and ended at 12:30…
The only difference was, it was in a cold, damp, gloomy studio :(
My only consolation: the model was hot!
