Casting for Stiefel Labs Inc.

Over the last two weeks we have been preparing for the Stiefel photo shoot. One of the major milestones for this project is finding the right model, the casting process. In a nutshell it is a test in staying organized with names and contact information and keeping focused while juggling agent personalities and client schedules. This all leads up to a live casting interview, where we take reference pictures and explain the objectives of the client to the potential talent. For this project we held our casting call at the Pencilbox Santa Ana office. Here are some of the pictures.
Next step hiring the favorites and setting the shoot date.

Little Company of Mary Photo Shoot

Another feel good day. We ended up shooting the Healthy Kids Van and some new nuclear imaging equipment.

As always working with these folks at LCM is an experience full of laughter and fast action. We skipped a shot on our list due to the immediate patient need of one of the new pieces bought with the donation dollars raised by the Foundation.

This is what we at Pencilbox do best, help our clients help others. I have a great job.

I Hope Medical Van at Saddleback Memorial

Kathleen and I went out to Saddleback Memorial Hospital in San Clemente this week and shot for the iHope Foundation. Our main objective was to help build a library of images to help promote the work the foundation does for the underinsured and the homeless. This is Tim, I liked him. His smile was big and carefree but his eyes told another story.




This Doc was running around very busy but we stopped her anyway. I shot 12 frames and walked with 12 users.




This little girl was also very busy. Just like this little one we all walked away feeling better. I think I even saw Kathleen smile once.

So Cal Hospice Foundation Production

May 20 2009. I saw the SCHF printed brochure. It looks really nice. I worked with Joe Banuelos and Roxy from the office on it. I hope it works hard for the client. We cast/hired 7 models for this shoot, two of them I had worked with before.
