yesterday was the ss10 childrenswear shoot. a special day since it was my very first burberry photo shoot and i. was. pumped. i practically skipped to the tube station. but of course i got lost for two whole hours on a horrible journey to burberry shoot-land. it started raining and i had walked for an hour in the cold before i finally found a cab. i now completely appreciate clearly marked road signs and metrocab's dependability.
i finally arrived and all the trouble getting there was worth it. i walk in to a large table with the set to the right and the BUFFET to the left. unlimited breakfast foods=heaven. i met the photographer, looked over the shots i had missed, and saw them making the accompanying video of a baby girl. heartbreakingly cute. then it was lunch time and another buffet of food was brought out and served to us. i think i had about 5 meals in 2 hours and loved iiit. craft services got blown out of the water. the next round of kid models came in and i got to watch their photoshoots. i was mistaken as the little girl's mother...still not sure if i should be flattered or not. either way, i think my 'oh my god no!' scared the photo assistant. he later apologized. haha.
the best part of it all was that the entire time the kids were there, two young british guys entertained them. i started talking to them and turns out they had both just finished college and were working part time as entertainers for kid parties and other events. they had been hired for the shoot to keep the kids happy when they weren't working, and literally colored and played games with them all day. it was hilarious to watch these two 20something boys playing hide and seek while wearing decorated pink crowns. i fell a little in love. at the end i even joined in with the coloring and played with the rocket balloons too!
overall i definitely enjoyed being able to see what ad campaign shoots are actually like. I wish i could explain more about the set but it's all super duper secret :) all the SS10 ads will break in february!
