lights - camera - AIRSTREAM

itv needed something a little special to add more glam in their morning makeovers. something that could be used as a walk in closet......

they fell for 'ruby tuesday' a seven panel overlander from the west coast that i had available for hire



i had to report for duty the night before so the trailer could be dressed ready for the surprise.....



early morning wakeup call and a 5am start outside itv studios, even the daybreak crew had not arrived -


the surprise makeover was on a narrow dead end road on a steep hill with no area to turn except a little area used for garbage bins. to be honest i felt a little faint at the thought of pulling this stunt off but lucky for me with a bit of help we unhitched and swung her round by hand, not that easy with a beast of a twin axle.

with trailer nicely in position the clouds started gathering -



in the middle of running about getting things ready, someone asked me, brown or white? i looked down and saw a bag of bacon butties! what a lovely sight after missing breakfast. then someone handed me a cup of tea, it really was a very well planned and executed shoot.

things quickly came together -




the makeover nominee was informed -



then after a manic makeover out pops the transformed lady -





with job nearly complete, i headed back to itv to unload and head home. with london underground on strike the roads were a little busier than normal.....



one down, next one is same time next week....

stay tuned...
