Last week was a first for me. I was in Los Angeles for a few days to shoot a video ad for Subaru’s First Car Story campaign via my media partner, Glam Media. It was the first time that I have been tapped for such an opportunity, so I was anxious, excited, and nervous.
The purpose of the shoot was for me and several other bloggers to share our first car stories. I created my First Car Story a few weeks ago and shared it on my blog. It’s a fabulous way to animate your story and share it with others by using cartoons, audio, sounds, and more.
My taped segment was later in the day, but I hung around the set early, trying to take in everything and learn the best way to deliver my “lines”. It was a really simple process, and I recorded my portion outside. Every so often, I had to stop talking because planes were flying over us and there wasn’t good sound. The whole process was painless and I had a ball meeting the other bloggers as well as the folk at Glam Media who I have been corresponding and emailing for quite some time.
Below are a few pictures of my from the behind the scenes aspects of the shoot. The edited full video has not been released yet, but as soon as it is, I will post it for you guys!
Special thanks to MUA Annette Chaisson who”beat my face” and gave me a few make-up tips. I am hoping she will share her 5 Makeup Items She Can’t Live Without right here on my blog!
Special thanks to Katie and Robert who treated me fabulously while in Los Angeles. Thanks guys!
That shade looks great on you…love the bold color!:-)
Glad you went with the yellow dress…outside in the elements, the color really pops! Looking good boo!

Love the Second Picture. What a really cool experience to have. I cannot wait to see the final commercial. You looked great.
How fun! You look so beautiful! Can’t wait to see the video. Jonathan is a mega Subaru fan!
Nice choice of color for outside.
If you have to do a video again, you will be much more relaxed. The first time is the hardest. Overall, it was probably a lot of fun.
