Looks like they started airing the TVC that I acted in, alongside Wang Leehom.
Video: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/FRcFO1Uv8H8/ You'll see me in a couple of quick shots.
One in the beginning...
one towards the end...
...and then you can catch me doing a little dance from behind as the commercial ends.
I had a ball on set as the director kept asking me to go "bigger" with exaggerating my movements, since we were shooting in super slo-mo. So at some point I started even tap dancing during takes to make it as big as possible. You get to see a touch of that action and swagger in the shots of me. ;)
We shot the scene in Macau. It was an awesome day, until it rained close to wrap time. A big crew in this one location, including Julian Cheng who handled camera on the steadycam shots.
Big ups to my fellow cast members, including Leehom, Nic Anderson, the Shanghainese model (who I shared all 15 words I know in Mandarin), the twins (believe they were from Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan), and Christopher Supertramp (as he goes by, I suddenly can't remember his real name haha)
Between takes, I got to chat with Leehom, mostly about NY. He's originally from Rochester and I'm from further south in Queens and Long Island.
I'm happy that they're airing it on CCTV, so my inlaws can check it out. Hope they start airing in in Hong Kong as well. :)
I wish I had some pics from set, but they were pretty adamant about us not taking pics on set, so I didn't want to take any chances. Plus I didn't bring my Nikon with me that day. hehehe
I did take these took pics while wandering around the night before.
The Grand Lisboa.... a magical palace of lights. :)
Either way hope you enjoy the commercial... and please check out the cam in stores!
