    Worked on the Body Shop's worldwide Christmas campaign for this year.

    Nothing terribly special, but it was a really fun shoot in a super-posh house somewhere in Surrey in the UK. Agency, crew and talent were absolutely lovely.

    Shooting a Christmas spot in August is weird, though.

    • didn't know the body shop was still aroundhans_glib

    • well i´am sure they are going bankrupt with this clip now...neverscared
    • @stewart they definitely did go through some difficulties. And a lot of stores closed, but a lot of them (as far as I understand) operate on a franchise modelContinuity

      Nobody asked so I won’t tell you how i puked at a Christmas shoot on a hot August day in Los Angeles while fussing with a Christmas tree.

    • Thanks shellie!
      I think there's a real story you need to tell there. You can't just drop a bomb like that and not follow through.
