Nesquik Contest Video
Another failure in attempts to enter contests: The Nesquik Video. At least we got to use a sweet mask in the process, it enhances Peter’s dangerous features quite nicely.
We certainly know how bored you can get just sitting around on the stairs in front of your apartment complex. Especially when you don’t live there any more. The batteries used were real, and I did accidentally shock myself with the dog collar, but I’ve done that before. Nothing I can’t handle *manly cough*.
The theme was “Nesquik takes you to your happy place” or something like that. Avoiding anything inappropriate we opted for something out of left field. Instead of our main characters getting taken to their ‘happy place,’ they’d use their assailant’s happy place to sedate him long enough to subdue him.
It probably got taken out for violence, ugly masks, and unsafe conduct. Whatever. We had fun making it. This was one of the harder ones to make as we got ditched a number of times by various actors and actresses. That happens, but finding replacements isn’t usually as hard as it was this time.
We actually had to get one girl who refused to be in it call in a favor on another girl (Mollie) in order to get out of being in the video so that we didn’t have to take out that part of the dream sequence. Which raises the question: what would a thief find more wonderful than being encouraged in his successful thievery by a beautiful lady?
Interesting fact: I grew up with and have known Mollie for a loooong time.
Slightly less interesting fact: Matt, the guy who gets his wallet stolen, was also the camera man for most of the video.
VASTLY less interesting fact: Nesquik makes a nasty mess when force-fed to someone.
