Another Video Audition

Today I went for another audition for video work- this time for a company that makes CG ads for car dealerships. They have a full digital studio in the basement of a house in the Rockridge area of Oakland. I went in the green screen and pretended to be looking at a car. He asked Damien to jump in to, told him that he 'looked like a car dealer' :). Of course, Damien WAS a successful car salesman for some time. It went well and he paid me for the audition. Hopefully we can get some work with him.

After answering an ad on craigslist, I hooked up with photographer Fernando Aguilar in Berkeley for a photo shoot. He is building his portfolio of 'corporate business-type' headshots, and I need more great photos!
The studio in Berkeley is beautiful and Fernando was very professional, we shot for 2 1/2 hours and got some fun pics.
