I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL DREAM OF ICE CREAM!

Could all these perfect scoops be real or is Michael dreaming?
He must be dreaming- they’re all numbered and on their own plate!


Michael may want his scoops in a grid,
but Michele prefers hers with a shallow depth of field and a cherry on top.

 

ICE CREAM AND CAKE

Watch our little video slideshow:

Behind the scenes,
working with Cliff Freeman, Baksin Robbins and Curious Pictures
making the Ice Cream & Cake stills for…

a 15 second stop-motion animation commercial
produced by Curious Pictures (NY).

STYLIST MARY BRUSH DAZZLES WITH CHOCOLATE

Mary Brush flew in from California to work on a shoot with Indresano Photography.

This beautiful cake starts with some ice cream.

Stylist Assistant, Travis Grandon does the heavy lifting…

…While Mary smooths thing out.

A lot more goes into making these cakes delectable than you might think.

Attention to details makes all the difference.

 

The crew just couldn’t help themselves… This cake tastes as good as it looks!

SHOOTING IN THE CHILL ZONE

Producer Michele says “Michael get that shot before it melts! “.

Studio intern Robyn in the wings to help with damage control: real ice, real water!

“Keep can upright”? When all else fails, bypass the warning label on the “Dust Off” for frosting up the ice.
