Banana Republic

“Work Where?” was the slogan for this Banana Republic shoot that we worked on a few months ago.  We just received the final spots from the production company and I’m wanting to share this amazing piece, especially since we are asking “Where Work?” and we are so ready to “Get to Work!”!   

This was a very ambitious project with an aggressive schedule, shooting 4 talent per day at 3-4 different locations.   Working from soup to nuts, we prepped for several weeks prior to the shoot and had 14+ hour days on set.  It was an absolutely professional crew and we had amazing talent to shoot, including Jon Boogz, Saint Sinner, Goapele, APEX, Jimmie Fails, Chinaka Hodge, Grady Brannan, Mari Swim and Lea Sabado.   I hope you enjoy results of our hard work!

Our final days of this campaign were a bit different from the first several days of shooting in the city.  Our directive was to shoot a new Banana Republic ad for their new line of sustainable clothing.  The slogan is “What if we could make things better?  What if we could make better Things?”  We secured a ranch in Petaluma that had beautiful rolling hills and a serene and open pond, a California beach with a large rocks and a panoramic coastal overlook.  The results are just beautiful and outlines why shooting in Northern California is so desirable.
