Magneat Scooter Shoot |
| 03.10.2009 |
| We just wrapped up part two of the Magneat Scooter shoot. This is the third in a series of four images for an advertising campaign for Magneat by Preggione. We had originally planned to do the entire shoot on location using a crane to elevate the scooter. But this became very difficult to pull of both because of the logistics involved and the permits needed to close down a busy intersection for an hour or two. |
