Behind the Scenes

Some of the initial images I'll use:


Some photos from the first of the two major shoots involving; a large tank of helium gas, 35 giant balloons, one stuffed swan, two stems of special oriental orchids, make up artist, model, assistant (thanks Hung!) and lots and lots of retakes!





Excellent makeup job by Tomoko~!
Some different lighting exposures; the great thing about this reflective dress was that it actually glowed!

Getting balloons to stay where you want them is pretty difficult! They ended up staying put with a bit of tape and a stern talking to (there may have been threats made with a needle also...)

Jo, the initial images are stunning!!! I love all the texture transmited, the clash of the glowing piece to the feathery skirt, the swan (who's head is perfectly put) the flowers (i can feel those too), its a combination of 3, really well done!! The black background does a good job making them stand out. And the hair of the model and the make up are the perfect finishing. Congratulations!!!

Wow, they're wonderful images, and that dress really does glow! So what's gonna happen to that poor old swan now that he's outlived his usefulness (and smell by date)?!

thank you, thank you! These are generally stills from the videos that will form the basis for the ad format- what you are seeing here would all be contained within the mini-site. Or did you mean banners A?
