Every now and then corporates get creative and we all have a lot of fun.
Below are ‘before shots’ of the two ladies in the above photo – it’s amazing what a little bit of make-up can do.Aside from the make-up, a smile also lights up a face and there’s nothing like knowing that you’re looking great to bring on a smile.
Standard Bank jumped out of the box with the launch of their new uniforms. Using their own staff to parade around causing onlookers to trip on the escalators, spill their coffee and even drop their files at the site of this awesome looking group of women. One guy broke out into a genuine sweat, ask me, I mopped it up 😉Carol Sviridov of Magic Monkey had George directing the shoot (both sitting in front of the monitor). See Bronwyn ‘production manager’ standing in her cute corporate outfit ready to drop her files. Bradley Bellas Jimmy Jib in the foreground.
Terry Molloy became a grip for a few unconventional tracking shots, I think that was the only time Willie sat down all day.
The girls really did look amazing. I wish I had more great pics, but I shot them on my new phone and I’m not that good at working it yet.We went back to re-shoot one of the scenes with our leading lady below. I think she looks a lot more like an air-hostess than a banker 😉
I Studied make-up and special effects in 1993, and still get excited when a booking comes in. I'm glad I made a few good choices in my life, doing make-up for a living was one of them. I love my job!
