Working on commercial sets

Working as a hair and makeup artist on commercial gigs is really fun, and can also be quite tiring.  Long days; think 10-12 hours, and travel on top of that.  However!! Things are shot in bits and pieces, and if I'm lucky enough to actually see the completed product- it's RAD!  Like working on a micro micro movie.  I just worked on a commercial this week that had a lot of moving parts (figuratively and literally) and will have really cool transitions that the director set up for perfectly.  I've never seen so many takes, but I understood why. He needed absolute perfection for the different scenes to line up when put together in post production.  This shoot featured multiple talent, moving sets built by the art department, a trained working dog, a military consultant, lots of background actors, and more.  We were at a campsite, a business campus, and a college campus. Can't wait to see it!
