TV Spot - SEAT Ibiza

As a model, it is important to know your strengths and your weaknesses. Modelling is a huge industry with various forms of work. Since arriving in Barcelona, I have realised my potential for starring in television commercials. In my first post on here, I wrote about shooting for Peugeot. Well here is the second spot I have been lucky enough to be a part of. 

To give you guys an insight into the weird and wonderful world of modelling; I was cast in this advert at the same time as I got cast in another advertisement, for Estrella Damm beer. Estrella, which I will share with you all very soon, was a week long filming process on location in Girona, Costa Brava, and I was booked to film for SEAT on one of the days in the middle of said week, back in Barcelona. With a cast off over 20 people as well as a huge crew, Estrella days were long days! So, off the back of filming for around 15hours I finally was driven back from Girona to Barcelona (60minute journey) where I had literally 2-3 hours sleep before I was up and making my way to the SEAT set for a 5am call time. SEAT was a full day and eventually I was collected around 8  o'clock in the evening and driven straight back to Girona, where I was lucky because we were shooting night time scenes which meant I got to carry on working until around 7-8 am. NO LIE! The gist of all that is, I effectively worked around 40+ hours filming in the space of 48hours. This isn't a complaint simply an observation. I live and breathe for this sort of thing. Anyone who knows me will be quick to agree. I feel at times I have an endless supply of energy, pretty handy when you work the sort of hours I do!

So here it is, SEAT Ibiza.
On screens across all of Europe, the best part of this job was the fact all my family and friends back home in London got to witness my success as opposed to me just telling them about it :)
