Hi guys,

As some of you may know, I recently did some studio work recording music and percussion for PEPSI and had some auditions for a TV commercial for TIC TAC as seen/discussed in THIS THREAD (click)

Well, the other day we went to film it, our call time was 5am arrival and report to sign in and make up. Fortunately for me I am fabulously good looking and required no make up!! :laugh: :p

I had gotten to bed at 1.30am, was up at 3.30am and out of the house by 4am. We arrived at 5am and were done by 5.30pm, big production, with all day catering, lighting people, props people, camera people, make up artists, directors, producers, heaps of extras, waiters, etc etc etc..

The director soon got us all (his fabricated band of mixed and matched musicians from the auditions) together and we began shooting.

Here's a few pics from the day taken by one of the make up artists.
PS For those who dont know me yet, Im the one in black trying to look the part on double bass.
