What I learnt in Spain
Just back from a week in Madrid with Jonathan Glazer, Brazilian futebol ace Kaka, four 3D camera rigs and a crew of just over 100 on a shoot for Sony Bravia. It was a tough but fun week and I learnt a lot.
1. Making TV commercials is hard. That’s why I stopped doing it nearly 10 years ago and that’s why it would take a team of especially strong wild horses to drag me back into it again. Doing what we do – the Making Of the commercial – is much easier and much more fun!
2. Jonathan Glazer is alright. He probably deserves all the hype and he remains approachable and friendly. Creatively, he has a strong sense of what he wants and he keeps going until he gets it. This 3D commercial should be amazing.
3. Kaka is not as good at football tricks as I thought he would be. But he is much better at performing on camera than I thought he would be so I guess we are evens. And he is a nice guy.
4. Mike James is a terrific cameraman and is very good company on a long shoot. I knew this already but it is always good to discover that something as crucial as this is still correct.
5. The rain in Spain falls wherever and whenever it feels like falling. And last week it fell everywhere, a lot, and it was accompanied by enormous and very uncomfortable hailstones.
