VERY stoked to finally share some of my latest commercial director work that’s playing all over your TV’s here in the USA. It’s the new 30 second broadcast TV spot for that great outdoor brand, REI.
Remember all these posts back in March, chronicling the day by day shooting of a video-and-print campaign-all-in-one shoot?…working through some curveball weather challenges? Well, this spot here is one of the fruits of that labor.
As you can see, our patience persevered on the weather. Huge thanks to the entire cast & crew that worked so hard to pull this off. I’m humbly grateful. A massive team effort, with a ton of sweat and laughs, waaaay up at 12,000 feet. And you might even recognize the fresh bed of music we licensed…thanks to our talented compadres from We Are Augustines.
Lemme know what you think of the spot [update: and of course feel free to ask any questions…] and stand by for a behind-the-scenes RAW video coming soon that’ll highlight how we snagged the the most important shots using cranes, jibs, steadicams, and a very special helicopter.
Nice work, Chase! I read your day-to-day blog posts with much interest. Nice to see some of the final results.
I love the direction of these recent REI commercials. That’s awesome you & your team are a huge part of that! Keep it up!
Seems like TV ads all suck these days. Not this one. Great work, Chase.
nice job
