So this one was kind of strange. This came up late and wasn't on anybody's radar; an xBox ad for Sounders Games on the JumboTron at Qwest field. When I was booked, one of the better directors in the Seattle area was attached to it and that made me very confident that it was going to be, if not memorable art, the production would be smooth and understandable. I got there and somehow the excellent director was producing and running b camera. Huh? Why? That's sort like Ingmar Bergman doing craft service. The concept as expressed by the clients seemed to change by the minute and it became direction by commitee through the hapless editor assigned to it. The sounders players were cool, but like all pro players they were like teenagers with short attention spans and limited acting abilities. I was pretty much just a grip on this one though they asked (nicely ) bring my audio package to capture the awesome performances.
