Recently, I helped put together a shoot for Tom, a friend I’ve worked with at Shutterstock, to shoot some lifestyle video to be sold as stock footage. We started planning this in late summer and settled on a date when we could all get together. Tom lives in a nice neighborhood in Manhattan so to keep it simple we shot in his apartment and just outside the building near the water.
The model on the shoot was Stephanie Damiano. I worked with her 2 years ago when she was toward the beginning of her adult modeling career. Since that time, she’s done very well for herself. She’s currently in 3 films, had TV appearances and other exciting projects in addition to being an NYU student. Samantha Linn was the MUA that had worked with Stephanie in the past and joined us on set. She was great to work with as well.

Anyway, onto the shoot. I brought my Movi to the shoot to have Tom try it out. We planned for some fairly static shots and some that included movement and the Movi gives you this fantastic, smooth feel to the shot. While Tom was shooting the scene below, I was able to snap a few stills of Stephanie eating this fruit plate. She did great in making it look like she was really enjoying it. I’ll update this post once the final clips are posted for sale.

Great crew and super fun shoot!
