This shot list officially changed the trajectory of my entire career. And this is also the first time it has seen the light of day outside of the original crew since about 2015. Daniel Harmon and I created this shot list after Harmon Brothers 🦄 hired me to Produce and 1st Assistant Direct this viral campaign. We always knew it would do well, but I had no idea that this production would go on to be written in college textbooks, grab over 100 Million Views and create Tens of Millions of Dollars of wealth for the awesome owners over at SQUATTY POTTY LLC. A lot of late nights went into the creation of this shot list as the puppeteering had to be executed perfectly along with the proper VFX plates to make the demonstrations crystal clear for the public. I look back at this bizarre and crazy time with fondness as it officially put the nail in the coffin of the traditional commercial as we know it. This production made Trackable Performance Media prolific in the video marketing world and I would be asked a hundred times over the same year if I could make peoples' companies "The Next Squatty Potty". Harmon Brothers 🦄 ended up buying my company, Jamestown Films and I became a partner and senior creative director there for 5 memorable years. I left 2 years ago to found another company, Buck Wild Media and still call the Harmon Brothers my dear friends. These guys really are legends. #SquattyPotty #FilmMaking #VideoProduction #Casting #BehindTheScenes #ActorLife #Filmmaker #CreativeProcess #MovieMagic #CastingGold #VideoMagic #FilmCrew #SetLife #CreativeCollaboration #Founder #CEO #Marketing #VideoMarketing #CreativeDirector #VideoAdvertising #BusinessGrowth #BuckWildMedia
Outstanding.
I've never felt so inspired James!!!
I bought a squatty potty off of this video (and can say the same also for a purple mattress and a bunch of poo pourri)
I'm not surprised at how precise, thoughtful and organized you were in planning this spot. The work show it. And obviously the results!
"Leave tripod locked on wide shot and walk away | Set is hot for tomorrow!" Efficient thinking!
Ha ha! Wesley Tolman and the unicorn. Wes is awesome.
Well done!
