BCP provided post-production services on this rip-o-matic as part of Momentum’s pitch to client St. Ives. We wanted to bring to life the 2D composite art via simple animation and give the poppy but soulful feeling of the campaign. The music track used is Juana Molina’s El Desconfiado with some additional drum and melody tracks added. For the voice over, we turned to Kristen Grove and her Maui recording studio which we recently used to record Graham Hill’s voice-over for the Urban Insight shorts we did for Discovery.

Micha Barton happy happy

Daily News catches on to the dishing begun Sunday on a TBL Facebook page that the CW will be airing the remaining shows for the Ashton Kucher-produced show that was canceled after just two shows.

CW spokesman Paul McGuire, however says that “Beautiful” fans shouldn’t set their hopes or their DVRs to “record series” just yet: “The status of unaired episodes has yet to be determined.” McGuire also noted that the Facebook page is not officially connected to the network.

The article goes on to talk about Micha sightings where she looks like she’s in better shape ostensibly because the additional shows are going on the air next summer.

As with all of life, nothing is ever for certain, but while you’re waiting to hear the final word, check out some of our work for The Beautiful Life: TBL below.

Radar Online is saying that the The CW show canceled after only two episodes will commence broadcasting later in the season. While the the Ashton Kucher-produced drama isn’t going back into production, the remainder of the Beautiful Life: TBL episodes already in the can are going to see the light of day.  Which would be swell since some of the cast took the news hard and had their minds blown. Radar online cites no sources of any kind to substantiate the claim. In the meantime, please enjoy some of our work for the show below…

WHAT: Behind the scenes interviews with series regulars that will introduce the characters and their
storylines and get viewers excited about the new series.

WHY: The interviews will drive a series of web segments, one per character that combine the
soundbites from cast with episodic b-roll from the first episodes.

AND: A secondary goal is to get a soundbite from each about their character’s “style” which can drive
an additional segment or segments highlighting each character’s “look” Probably one combo with the
guys and one with the girls.

HOW: sit down’s with a behind the scenes look, off set or on an unused set that day that would be
representative of the series. Protected for 4×3 but shot to in HD 16×9.
Look to off-camera interviewer.

WHO:
Mischa Barton – Sonja Stone
Sara Paxton – Raina Marinelli
Elle Macpherson – Claudia Foster
Ashley Madekwe – Marissa Delfina
Corbin Bleu – Isaac Taylor
Nico Tortorella – Cole Shepherd
Benjamin Hollingsworth – Chris Andrews

The cast of The Beautiful Life are generous and playful. They were great sports for modeling for the camera so we could get head-to-toe shots of their designer outfits: Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and on….

We shot with two Hi-Def cameras (a Sony EX1 and a Panasonic HVX200) to capture all the glam goings-on. We supplemented the stage lights with two Litepanel 1×1 SuperSpot LED lighting units using one down low as a “shoe light” to fill in when we tilted down. While the a-camera was on sticks, DP Pierrot Colonna’s snap zooms on both b-roll and talent interviews provided visual cutting points for upcutting the dialogue. DP Rob Featherstone made sure we could get a word in from Demi Moore going handheld, jumping into the thick of the fray.

We posted on Final Cut Pro 6 & 7 creating flow with music cues as well as by grouping the sound bites into sections:

1. Intro
2. Tell us about your character
3. Your character’s style
4. How does your own style compare with your character’s
5. What are you wearing this evening
6. Your favorite costume so far
7. tag out

While the cutting in sections 3 and 4 slow a bit allow us to spend time with the talent, 5 drops in specific broll shots of talents’ clothes via split screens, while 6 & 7 use checkerboard editing to pump up the flow toward the end.
