Katja Drop Commercial


"Katja Drop" is a big candy brand in Holland. Dont know if you guys ever heard of it...I think its also called "Katjes" in Germany. Anyway, last Sunday I got to direct their commercial. They say this commercial is going to be running for the next 2 years so this is pretty big.
It also includes 12 seconds of 3D animation. yah dude! and we have In-Ah supervising it.

The shoot went very well...was pretty hectic cause we had 28 kids (extra´s) running around the set. These kids are cheering and dancing in the commercial so I had to keep them all energetic and charged the whole day. But as everyone knows a shooting day can be very long...especially for an extra that is just waiting around most of the time. At the end of the day (around 4 pm) I was wiped...and the kids, being in the midst of puberty, were bored and grumpy. It was actually pretty funny when you see the raw footage before I call action the kids are standing there like sacks of potatoes! When I call action they jump up and start dancing...funny.
The commercial will be finished the end of February. I will definitely post it!

  • Hi Gabe! Looking forward to seeing that commercial on national tv.
    By the way, didn't the sugar help to make the kids stay 'lively'? :)

  • We'll put it onto the whisper-media website soon, but I hat putting these commercials on our personal website. Maybe if Bauer pulls my arm we will though.
