About 3 years ago while I was in Chicago I saw a Tommy Hilfiger window display featuring Golden Gridiron helmets, and I instantly thought this could make an awesome shoot. A month later I saw a helmet in a thrift shop in LA, so I bought it, painted it gold, and left it to sit in the studio for 2 years waiting for the right model. Anne Duffy was in the studio shooting a tutorial for iNSPIRE and I showed her the helmet and the stripper shoes I had painted gold. Anne asked me what my concept was, and I said ‘one light, awesome shapes, and one prop that didn’t make sense’ – Baseball bat with gridiron helmet and stripper heels 🙂 While going through the images after the shoot we realised this would make an awesome stop motion video. The tutorial of the making of the video is now on iNSPIRE.
