What happens when you have go glide a camera along a giant table of entres and deserts, and the director keeps saying “keep low.” Smack- the camera hits a creme puffs, and a few other sweets before the spot is done.
“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Profiterole,” an article in the recent DV magazine written by Stefan Sargent, recounts the blunder that took place while shooting a spot for Alveston Kitchens.
Someone’s been vigilantly pulling down the maverick video clips of the Lily Tomlin and David O. Russell fighting on the “I Love Huckabees” set. George Clooney is denying he leaked it, and offering $1 million if we can prove him wrong. George- thanks for sending me the clip. I uploaded it with aliases so nobody…
Today I speak about YouTube at the International Society for Humor Studies. If I don’t finish this post quickly I’m going to miss my flight from Newark to Boston.
