Nike Brazil: "Just Do It" Ad Campaign Behind The Scenes

Back in April I shot a print ad campaign for Nike Brazil, but we shot it on the Nike headquarters in Portland Oregon. The ad finally was printed and released, so I can show you guys. It's a Nike Just Do It ad, with the the Brazilian Soccer star Lucas Leiva, who plays for Liverpool. Rodrigo from Saatchi Brazil was the Art Director, and makeup artist. (Mud and water)

The shoot was mad crazy. I had about an hour and a half to prelight with my assistant Matt Brush, and about 5 minutes with Lucas in between Omri shooting the tv commercial. All said and done, it was a lot of pressure, but I nailed and everyone was happy.

I thought I'd break down the lighting and show you what we did. Nick Onken use artificial lighting you say? Yes, he can.

Here's a diagram of the lighting:

Nike Corre Behind the Scenes... Full Version

We finally finished a cut of the full version of the behind the scenes from the Nike Corre 08 job last month. The video was shot and cut by my friends over at Celluiode Films here in Mexico City. The Music was specially cut by my other amigo DJ Kore in Brazil with Reset Studio.

There is a lot more footage of me shooting and the rest of the production. It's a 3 minute vid, so check it out.

Kenny Brady BTS

My friend Kyle Barnes caught me in action of shooting the Kenny Brady as you saw in one of recent week's posts. No assistants on this one. Just an extra lens in hand. Cool Behind the Scenes shots!

Here's the shoot incase you missed it.. http://www.nickonken.com/Stories/KennyBrady/
