The only way you’d have missed the Equilibrium USG live 2012 commercial film coverage on Facebook is if you were in a coma. Thanks to Elisha from Appleavocado and her fury of social media ninja-ing, you were able to follow us by the minute throughout the jam-packed two day photo and video shoot. Here’s a compilation of the Instagr.am action:
It was awesome to actually put some of the first big EQ 2012 plans in motion and see just how many people support the movement, be a part of the filming and follow us all on our social networks to see what was coming next. The shoot spanned two, chilly days but in the end, every bit of the each long day was worth it and I’m so excited to put together the final video for you guys soon! And as per usual with any EQ project the team is involved with, motivation and excitement trump exhaustion any day…so here are some photos (and video above) I took during the commercial shoot to give you guys an even closer look:
To get an in-depth look into what the EQ team did throughout the two days (as well as getting to know a bit more about this year’s campaign called “Find Yours”), check out the play by play and more photos from Edouard Pierre on the Equilibrium USG post. Before running down all the ‘thank yous’, I have to extend my huge gratitude to EQ for letting me be a part of the team this year – it’s an honor to be able to put the UMG stamp on their creativity and provide my input throughout the 2012 campaign. Huge thank yous are also due to:
