The Waterford County Campaign

You may have seen the stills from the Television Commercial for Waterford County.It was a campaign put together by The Little Green Frog marketing company. Jamie and his staff did a great job pulling this all together.It takes a great deal of organisation with lots of important factors to consider in a shoot like this.There is portraying the clients wishes,the creative aspects, talent scouting,the locations,catering etc etc.We also were working with children and animals....that can be tough. This dog was so excited ( he's young and active) at having the big drive to the bush and all those smells, he was growling and barking at me on first meeting...."Shesh...I gotta lay on the ground in front of this guy" I was thinking.I do both film and illustration work for the Little Green Frog and always enjoy these creative vibrant young guns.I have even earned a staff profile ....although a little "out there" it does involve my portrait holding a camera.


Here you can see the art director Katie (left) and Jo Nelson hair and makeup artist seducing the dog with animal treats in hand and the packet up on the sticks well as lots of woos,yays,whistles and here boys !!!Prue the marketing co coordinator for the little Green Frog was keeping her watchful eye on the details and Matt was animal wrangler and the man that takes the images to web and print.was keeping an on on the details of the shoot Matt ....the aim is to get this little critter to look up installed of sniffing out all the rabbits,cats,possums etc...well done ,you two helped me get that shot.That's me as usual laying in the grass.I'm shooting this with a Nikon D300 and a 17-50 2.8 lens.I shoot everything on RAW.Luminous Landscape has some good stuff to say on this topic.

Please excuse the quality of some of these images they are re-photographed from the Brochure and are very low res.The Waterford County website has larger images.
