Description

While working as Technical Director of an infomercial studio, I shot and edited this parody infomercial starring self-help guru Sean Stephenson. It was used as a comedy segment while Sean was a guest on the talk show we also produced there.

Sean was even funnier off camera including when he demanded we blast “Lose Yourself’ by Eminem before each take. And we did.

Lowkey regrets: The weak script and the incredibly short deadline – shot, edited and live broadcast within a few hours.

Gear used:

  • Panasonic Lumix GH4
  • Sony lav
  • Edited in Premiere CC with Photoshop on a Mac Pro
