I got the fun job of shooting behind the scenes photos on a Nike commercial in October. Here's some of my favorites.
Jason was shooting the ads and Stacy Wall was shooting the TV spot
This light was awesome
C-stands everywhere
2nd unit doing a shot on the street
Nike's basketball tech coaching the extras
LeBron waiting
Focusing for the phantom camera
Sal shooting an alley oop sequence
Client area
Instant replay
Messing around
Big ass blimp light
4 4k HMI's in a giant helium balloon. I asked one of the surly union guys what this was and he told me it was an air conditioner
A coned off ceiling light
A few long lens warm up shots
These storyboards would pop up out of nowhere.
Filming a closeup
Meeting
Most of the photography crew

One of the first indoor sets with all the lights on
Lights off
One of the grips setting up a green screen
Outdoor green screen
It was all shot on 35mm which was fun to watch
Some prop trophies
A prop (real) rattle snake
A bulldozer smashing a prop basketball hoop
Prop mic
