@xstarbucksjunkie lol It was great working with that hippo! And I even tried the head on after shooting! It was a bit large!The poor guy in the hippo was so hot that they had to blow through the mouth with a fan to keep him cool! It was a great experience even though I felt sick in the taxi on the way home after eating tens of thousands of biscuits, but I still love them! It was a long day, but it was worth it! I had so many people saying "Was that you and your sister in the hippo advert?!"
@sphangman Wow!! That's so cool!!! But it was my sister, Anna, who was spitting into the bucket each time! I loved them!! Although, thinking about it, I did feel a tadge ill in the taxi on the way home! I remember that they asked Anna what her favourite food was and she said 'banana'...so they said 'think of bananas when you eat them'! So what was your job on the shoot? But yes, those where the good old days! I did a couple more adverts, two of which are on my channel, and I was in a short film
cool , yeah maybe I got confused .. all I remember was the bucket for the spitting and it was a long old day. I was the vfx supervisor for the day, generally standing around watching and consulting with the director and agency people. I had more to do with the green/blue screen setup with the packs at the end. glad to hear you went on to do more, i'll check them out !
@sphangman Right! That's better! Okay, yeah. It was a really long day! I remember being told to laugh at a piece of blue paper...were you a part of that, you know, blue screens and all that...?
it's quite possible, i don't remember asking you tho, I'm really not sure what we would have used that shot for. Most of my work was the shooting of the pack on blue/green and black at the end and also checking that the suit wasn't going to be a problem. If you remember the suit was separate pieces, and we joined them all up together later after the shoot. I do remember the guy almost passing out in the suit it was so hot and them blowing air through his mouth with a fan ?
@sphangman Yes, I think I do remember that!! Do you mean right at the end, with the pack of biscuits? If so then you must have done a great job becuase I can't see anything...that I'm not supposed to see...! :) Hehe, well it's great to know someone else out there who remembers this!!
@sphangman We got so bored of laughing...at first the idea of laughing at a piece of paper was kind of funny maybe, but then after like half an hour it got so boring, I'm surprised that they didn't chuck us out for such fake laughter!!! But it was really fun! And I got to try on the Hippo head before we left! And the catering pasta was awesome...although it was really bright and quite hot up there on the catering bus... :)
It's Victoria and Amelia =)

A couple of years ago, there was a Kinder Hippo advert, featuring a gorgeous little girl with long red ringlets. Is that ad here?
