Focus pulling
There are 6 of them in total, 2 from the agency commissioning the work,
who watch and come up with brilliant ideas and stand around getting cold, 4 from the production
company - the camera man, the camera man's focus puller, a man that
shouts 'action!', a man who watches the man who shouts action and
absolutely no one from Ikea.
Pretending to fuel 'doos
And then of course there's Rob the doctor; our man. He's the star and
has to do things over and over again in front of the camera ever so
slightly differently each time. What's this got to do with flat pack?
Well, we think it's all about a doctor roughing it out in freezing
conditions, fighting polar bears and getting frostbite and then coming
home to the comfort of an Ikea bed!
Ready for a bumpy ride
We went out last night to catch the good light to film Rob on his
skidoo. I had the cameraman, the camera man's focus puller and the man
who shouts 'action!' all on this people carrier we call the banana boat.
They were all bouncing and jiggling about on this thing behind me
getting a load of blurry shots and trying not to fall off. They were all
a bit hot and bothered when we stopped and then the sun set and we all
froze.
Next day was a late start and they spent all afternoon filming Rob fueling the skidoos with the fuel we didn't have and I played safety man while Rob wielded the chainsaw within inches of the camera man and camera man's focus puller's face.
Pretending to chainsaw
Pretending to go into the container
Pretending to put up a tent
Burning the tent down
I said just smile!
He must be there somewhere
Waiting to finish while temperatures plummet
