Watch me

I like to people watch
all types of people..
skinny
tall
short
fat
young
old
whatever
Kind of comes with the territory as a performer, I guess.
You must be able to understand how diverse a human being can be emotionally
and physically to be able to showcase these traits onstage or onscreen.
Especially a physical performer, by studying people, he/ she just fills his
pockets with more and more characters to pick and choose from in the future.
I was hanging out at the new High Line Park in New York City a week and some change ago.
Just taking an easy stroll with a friend and watching a bunch of kids reading and playing around some benches.
They had absolutely no care in the world.
Made me wonder...
When did it become uncool for me to keep wearing my matching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Shorts and Tank Top set?

Behind the red nose...

And I'm not talking about that big fat zit!which is on my nose...but seriously, I'm not talking about that..Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB2gjWzB_VARecently found this link on something I shot a few years back when I was theartistic director for the new Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College in Florida.They pretty much took the Clown College name, which I hold near and dear, and dumped it into a theme park called Wannado CityIt's a really bizarre and wonderful concept where the tag is:Where a kid can be a kid!The developers built this Kid size replica of a working city complete with a hospital, bank, fire station and of course, a circus tent.Each of these different venues were sponsored by a different corporation.For example, they would go to the the Citibank Fire Station or Publix Supermarket.All this while spending the theme park's own currency, the Wannado Buck.The idea was to get em' while they're young. Branding Branding Branding!The kids that had seasonal passes that came to the park everydaystarted to develop their own entrepreneurial skills by selling the free clown noses we gave away to other visitors.The coolest thing ever?Children can go to the Fort Lauderdale Hospital and cut out a patient's liver in surgery.
I've seen kids of all ages scream and run out of the place.Now THAT'S entertainment! -
Good Day Sunshine

(from SUNSHINE, a fine fine film by Danny Boyle)
I just learned that the commercial I recently shot for SUNSHINE Lighting is currently doing the rounds in Hong Kong.
So I did a bit of googling and found the print ad on their website
Check it out, it's my first commercial Beefcake shot!
And here's where I'm reminded of the old Wendy's tag: Where's the Beef?
The print campaign and TVC was all shot in one day at this AMAZING mansion up in the mountains somewhere in Tsuen Wan.
Yep, you too can shoot on location for a measly 10,000/ day
It was a whirlwind set up of hopping from one side of the mansion to shoot the TVC then skipping over to the other side to get the still photos in for the print campaign.
At one point, one of the photographer's assistant decided I wasn't cut enough and suggested that perhaps I should get some baby oil and slather myself with the stuff.
His thought pattern consisted of:
OIL plus FLESH equals BAD ASS MOFO
Hmmm, that possibly could have been the case if I actually used baby oil.
But fate would have it that they only have corn oil in the kitchen so the final outcome came out to this:
CORN OIL plus FLESH equals BAD SMELLING CHINESE FOOD MAN
Put some SUNSHINE into your life
(shameless plug that I'm not even getting paid for)
