And seriously, I knew that guys were camera-shy, but not THIS camera-shy. Most didn't want to be on a picture and when they hear that it will be used for a TV commercial, they totally freaked out. So finally, when I was at my visagiste, Mrs. Murni Dasai, Jay called to asked if I still needed someone. My god,,,he was really like an angel sent from heaven.
Well,,,,I have some experiences with visagistes, but I never knew it could take sooo long. But I gotta admit, she really took her time for every knick and knack on my face and did a great job on me. I know I have a difficult face to put make up on. Chinese eyes, high cheekbones and a broad jawline. She took her time to 'correct' several things on my face. And she chose to give me airbrush make-up. For a make-up newb, these terms are all new to me. Finally, after one and a half hour, my make-up was done.
On the way to 'SAB rumhuis', I heard from the others that the photographer haven't shown up yet. Seems that there was some misunderstanding, but he could arrive as soon as possible. When I arrived there, Tasha was busy putting on the tapas and Jay was arranging the wine glasses. Tasha did a tremendous job on making the tapas. They looked very appealing and tasted pretty good. Marleen, our contactperson at SAB, also created a great ambiance with the wine bottles.
Finally, after about 15 minutes, our photographer Earvin Simons arrived. I have to admit, it was a bit weird and funny to just 'act' in front of a camera. He asked us to act as if we're having fun and enjoying our wines. Actually, we chose for a great crew since it went pretty much effortless. We had a fun group and the whole time, we were just talking and chilling and laughing. Only wish we could've sit down and really enjoyed the wine instead of just a mere 15 minutes of fun.
After the shoot, we got our pictures for the commercial within 10 minutes. Can hardly wait to see the final outcome of the commercial!
