Always loved this commercial. This is a really nice backstory on it!

[@aramatkinson]

Cheers Oli! Must admit I enjoyed this one a lot

[@AleSalvino]

Now, this should be another Skillshare class! Super well explained and sharing your experience as a pro from zero to the end result. I actually didn't know at all this would take this level of preparation, wow! How do you even find these places to film? haha, it looked stunning! I vote for more of these ones from time to time 💪

[@aramatkinson]

Cheers ale! One day I'd love to teach a film programme in some form...so much I've had to learn along the way that no one taught me how to do haha. And it really was a stunning place, I got lucky with the client having the some of the most beautiful woodlands in the country.

Man, you're so underrated! your videos should have more reach

[@aramatkinson]

Thanks Ahsan! I've admittedly been inactive for a while but planning to change that soon once life calms down a bit next month!
