MasterMoves Infomercial: the making of....beautiful abs...
Last week, I worked on an infomercial for an Ab "machine" that works the core without doing conventional sit ups. Oswaldo Koch, the creator, had an unfortunate mountain biking accident years ago and was unable to move his spine in the traditional sit up style, so he created a product to work his core, the unconventional way!
Oswaldo just put up a link on his website to the making of our infomercial. In early September, I did the cover shot for the DVD with a picture of my abs alongside the creator, Oswaldo Koch. Then mid October, we shot the actual work out DVD's, plus the whole infomercial. It was neat to see how they actually make these things and let me tell you, it's not easy! You perform the same move over and over as they pull one product away every 30 seconds ie DVD and then another product goes and another, but you just keep smiling and smiling until you get into a trance...it's pretty hilarious ...
Julie Marsland, another FAME PRO, worked on the infomercial too and I have to say I was quite smitten to be working next to her given her growing resume as a fitness model. She's amazingly down to earth and not only is she armed with wonderful biceps, but a great sense of humour as well! In the first slide show called "Product Presentation", she is the one in blue and I'm the one in pink (Jason is the guy and he's a trainer from Toronto).

I think the actual infomercial airs at the end of November...just in time for Christmas presents! Haha! I can see people swiveling on this MasterMoves product as they eat their holiday goodies. Focus bar in one hand, turkey leg in the other. (the focus bar is the stick you'll see in the product shots). Cheers!
