The MTC Commercial Shoot

Today I had the MTC Atheer commercial shoot with Ilham Al Madfai and Shada from Star Academy. I woke up at 7AM and was on the set by 8. The whole shoot took place in an old house/museum here in Lebanon and it was a really beautiful location. The shoot started at 8:30AM and ended 16 hours later at 12:30AM. It was extremely exhausting with only 1 short break for lunch.

Its now 2:15AM and I just got back to the hotel room. I am posting three pictures from todays shoot for now but will try to post more pictures tomorrow with more details.

    Wow, 16 hours!! I never knew that much work went into making a commercial. Cant wait to see it, but for now u shud definately get some shut eye…

  6. Cool!

    I went on my first TVC shoot a few months ago…That’s when you come to appreciate the work that goes into a 30 second spot! All the work that happens before the shoot…all the work during the shoot itself, and the work after the shoot…

    Mine was a 3-days shoot, and although 2 of the days were OK, the 3rd one was also a long one, where we started at 8 and ended at 12:30…

    The only difference was, it was in a cold, damp, gloomy studio :(

    My only consolation: the model was hot!
