Challenge & solution
Thirty seconds, a well-known face, and two animals who have not read the script. Producing that is mostly about protecting the shoot day: making sure the time is there for the animals to do the thing on their own schedule, and that nobody is standing around waiting on something that should have been sorted a week earlier.
Harold Hölscher directed, Rory O’Grady was on camera, and Mark Boucher played it straight, which is what makes the joke work. I produced it. A fun story, a fun crew, and a brief where the charm had to carry the sell.
The discipline
This one came through commercial production. Brand and retail commercials for agencies and in-house teams.
