The Yellowbook Shoots

November 24th, 2008

Yeesh.  I need to get in the habit of updating this thing more frequently.  Here it is though, a long overdue update, and this time there will be no embedded videos.  No embedded videos because it would be illegal for me to feature these videos that I’ve shot for my own marketing purposes.

But I can LINK to them.

Last couple weeks of August, I get a call from a production company in LA asking if I’d be able to shoot some commercials for them in our area.  After considering their offer I quite willingly accepted.  For the next two months I shot over a dozen commercials for this company.  This company is contracted by yellowbook.com, and in turn they contract me to do the shoots.  I’ve travelled as far as Maple Valley and North Bend doing these, there have been several in Seattle, and a few in Tacoma.

I really enjoy shooting for these guys and I’m hapy with the way most of the videos came out.  There are a couple I’m not incredibly proud of, some because of a critical view of my own work, others because I didn’t appreciate what the editors had done with it.

Anyway, those of you who are here reading this may be interested in seeing a couple.  I’m certainly interested in sharing them, so here come the links! Each video is 30 seconds or 1 minute in length.

This was the first one I shot – Above All Roofing in Maple Valley.

Next was Northwest Dental Services in downtown Tacoma.

A. Robert Thomson Attorney at Law in Federal Way.

The Auto Buff autobody repair and detail shop in West Seattle.

Summers Chiropractic and Massage in Federal Way. I was a bit disappointed with the editing in this one, and wish they had picked a different opening shot.

Skyway Nail and Beauty Supply and Design Tacoma.

Water Out Tacoma.

Pro Flooring LLC in North Bend.

Daniel Whitmore Attorney at Law, Seattle.

La Dolce Vita Italian Ristorante, Seattle.

Auburn City Imports in… AUBURN!

It looks like that’s all that’s live at this time. There are a few more I’ve shot that aren’t completed yet, but I think there are plenty here to give you an idea of what these shoots are all about. They’re a lot of fun to work on, and they pay decent. Unfortunately I think the economic downturn we’re seeing has taken a chunk out of how many gigs I was getting. All of these were done in September and October, I’ve only gotten 3 new ones in the month of November. Things are slowing down…

Thanks for reading!
