OFFSPRING DIAPERS ‘Zahirah Macwilson’
Shooting babies can actually be extremely challenging. Thankfully, this was not the case on our set. Our celebrity Zahirah, professional & always at the ready, & her real 3-month old baby girl, performed exceptionally well for us – even smiling at the right moments, hardly crying or fussing about. So this made our job so much easier. We shot in a large bungalow – with complete silence when required, & catered to the sleeping times of our star. But even when she did sleep, we shot sleeping scenes with her. To capture all these moments, we utilized 2 x Sony FX3 cameras, rolling as much footage as possible. The actual unexpected challenge was from shooting our celebrity doctor instead, for the script was essentially a mouthful & even with a teleprompter, some lines seemed difficult to be read. In the end, we produced a beautiful, loving, warm & heartfelt ad, with snippets made into a Director’s Cut minus the CGI demo effects & diaper animation (provided by Sellwyn).
