McCoys Man Guide and more……..

Pub, crisps and beer what more could you want from a shoot! (erm.. actually we didn’t have beer but there was gallons of coffee!)

McCoys Man Crisps shoot and location finding was commissioned by Inbox DMG. After a week of pub crawling on line, and on foot – just  to find just the right ambience , the perfect man pub location was found ( I know its a tough job, but….. ).

We shot at the pub for two days. The lighting of the interior was a considered affair, mindful of continuity, as the rooms were to be converted into one long run. Later the models and valiant extras were shot in the studio ‘green screen’ and again the lighting had to relate to the interior photography and to the ‘effects’ to be added in the final assembly.

All concerned worked brilliantly however, the hero of the whole shoot was undoubtedly the stunt crisp….it didn’t crack, break, crumble or go soggy  it just rigidly and tastefully did its job… thank you stunt crisp.

Post shoot, the whole thing was assembled by Inbox’s Ed Whatton.

Visit the pub, there’s lots of fun to be had there, my favorite is the darts game…….good luck!

Oh, by the way you may spot moi somewhere inside (if it was good enough for Hitchcock…)?
