Steve Bonini Shooting Golfers

Steve recently shot with his client Taylormade Adidas Golf in Chicago.
As always, when he's shooting the world's greatest golfers, he lays down (or stands) in the line of fire while 100+ m.p.h. balls whizz by, just to get the perfect shot.

As the client once said to him ...."Bonini, don't worry, these are the best golfers on the planet."
So, nothing to worry about, right?
But as one of the worlds best golfers said to him, "Hey, I could make a mistake."
Think about it - a golf ball going that fast, hitting your head... OUCH!

Curtis Johnson's Worst Sales Call EVER

This project was created for the Hunt Adkins agency by Curtis Johnson. Their client was Calabrio, a company specializing in workforce optimization software for corporate call-in centers, call recording and speech analytics. The theme of this campaign which involved 4 videos and 3 direct mail pieces was, "The worst sales call ever". The central character was "Dick", an old school sales guy calling on "Allen", an IT associate for a large corporation. Dick is desperate to make a sale as is evidenced by this series of videos. The agency built a micro-site for their client. The videos were rolled out one at a time. One was posted each week on the micro-site until all 4 were running from that site.

"This was my first chance to direct a video project and see it through from beginning to end. A much different process than most of my still work but one that I found to be very collaborative and enjoyable. It was a great experience and I look forward to doing more in the near future. " - Curtis Johnson

Andrew Wilz Takes on ARB

A bit of desert-time pre-holiday season with ARB by Andrew Wilz
"We got our chance to snap into production for a day and a half right before the holidays. A new Wrangler JK edition and a Toyota Tacoma were our subjects; hosting ARB's products from front to rear. The Wrangler was built up as a SEMA show-vehicle for ARB, showcasing OME (Old Man Emu) suspension products alongside ARB's full rolling-platform."
"What an amazing time we had! We had to find a location that wouldn't be disturbed by blowing snow, didn't look too much like Australia (they shoot everything in AUS typically), and would be a natural-looking place for the vehicles to be showcased, w/o being dangerous to get into, and wouldn't require hectic insertion or extraction. I had the perfect place!"
"We shot on location outside Helper, UT in relatively balmy mid-40 degree temps. We were blessed with copious amounts of sun on our first day (which was a gimme...) and partly cloudy-conditions the second day.""THANK YOU ARB! We look forward to working together again in the great outdoors!" -Andrew Wilz
