Transcript
Cut. Cute. Cut. We only had forty eight hours to create a commercial with Indian Apparetti, and this is how we did it. First, we had to develop the entire concept, from the story to the shot list to the wardrobe inspiration no exactly how we wanted this world to feel. Then we had two days to build a set completely from scratch. We had to turn an empty space into what felt like Indy's apartment, decorating it, placing every prop, and making it feel lived in. Then came the hard part: blocking the whole thing. Because my vision was to shoot the entire commercial in one continuous take, which is extremely challenging because every moment, every cue, and every performance has to land completely perfectly. But if anyone could do it, it was in me. On the day of the shoot, we did one final run through to make sure the timing worked and then it was fine for interview. First, tier sat for interview, and then we went straight into shooting the commercial. Watching her bring the Vulcan to life was insane. She absolutely killed it and genuinely was the nicest person. After we wrapped the main spot, we shot some extra social content, got a few final behind the scenes moments, and then everyone let me know. And somehow, in two days, we turned an idea into a real world.
