Chapter 85 Pretty Face (1/2)

~La Serene Beach Resort Hotel~

<<<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>>

The shooting of three minutes commercial for the big clothing giant, The Robes & Furs, was to be held in one of the secluded parts of the beach. This part of the beach is yet to be developed, hence it's still secluded and not open to the public. Staff says that this area was for the owners family's private use only. Even if not included yet as one of the resorts main attraction this sheltered beach not only contains a pristine beach but also had a half kilometer wide of blue-green freshwater lagoon teeming with vegetative and rare green ferns bushes and assorted of tropical trees big and small adorning the fertile land surrounding it, truly an oasis of paradise for natures lovers.

The owner of the beach resort hotel and the big clothing giant were blood sisters that is why the production team were allowed and given full access to all the resorts function and amenities.

Caden and Gavin were awestruck by the beauty of the lagoon, not only them but also the production team, they were totally mesmerized by the enchanting lagoon.

On the left side, the stunning beach was also equally captivating and inviting, waiting for their admiration and attention.

Caden had difficulty keeping his focus on one area, his head was alternately looking upon the tempting green body of water of the lagoon and then to the bluish sparkling beach on his left, then back again to the lagoon, then back again to the beach. He found both the beach and the lagoon among the most beautiful he'd ever seen, the man-made beach in the condo can not even come close to the breathtaking beach on his left side. Simply an impressive wonder of nature!

Gavin laughed at Caden's never-ending rotating head.

”Chill bro! Your torturing your neck too much. All you have to do is look up at the lagoon for five minutes and then switch to the beach in the next five minutes, this way you can be satisfied to your heart's content without pressuring your neck much,” said Gavin.

Caden followed his friend's advice.

The leader of the production team Mr. Jerome Ross call everyone's attention.

Then they proceed to enter a picnic hut that can seat up to fifty people. Drinks were already served together with some mouth-watering snacks displayed deliciously in the wooden table for everyone to enjoy.

Mr. Ross stood up to the center of the gathering and make an announcement.

”Guys, it's our first day here in the beach resort. We won't be shooting anything yet. I want everyone to relax and chill first. Today you are allowed to get familiarize with the entire resorts amenities, you can go for a swim on the beach and at the lagoon as much as you want. But pay attention, no trashing of this site, no dirty garbage, and no tiny grass,ferns or bushes must be uprooted from the soil. If you do, we will be kicked out from this beach. Do you got it, guys?”

”Yes!” The team cheers and applauded. Everyone is excited to go swimming!

”Tonight we will discuss how the shooting will proceed. I want to specifically discuss the script with Gavin and Stacy later. For now, you can eat the snack in front of you at no cost and have unlimited drinks at your disposal courtesy of our employer. After the snack, you can start swimming to your heart's content because tomorrow we will start shooting the commercial. I want everyone to relax first so that everyone can bring their best for tomorrows shooting. Got it guys?

”Yes...Yes...Yesssss!” replied by everyone.

The group dispersed, some excitedly went to the changing room and change into their swimming attire right away and then the others were still around the table munching on the snacks heartily.

Stacy, a fair-skinned pretty model with a sexy body, walked towards Gavin and Caden.

”Hi Gavin,” she greeted him with a sweet smile. She sat on the chair beside Gavin.

Gavin returned her greetings and smiled. ”Hello, Stacy!”

A moment later Mr. Ross approached them.

Caden realized that he is not part of the meeting, exited himself quietly. ”I will go for a swim in the lagoon, see you later bro!” he said.

Gavin nodded. ”Enjoy bro!”

Mr. Ross joined them. He sat in front of the two models, showing them each a storyboard that consists of script and drawings.

”Listen, guys. First, the shooting will start tomorrow afternoon on the beach, then the next day we will shoot another in the lagoon. We will be shooting the same script on two different locations, the beach and the lagoon. The finished product will be presented to the Boss, she will be the one who will choose which one is the best commercial to be featured in television and online and then the rest of the photos will be for the print ads media. All we have to do is shoot the commercial the best way we can.”

”Stacy and Gavin, I want you both to spend some quality times together in the next few hours getting to know each other. It will help your relationship appear real in the film. The first shoots will be more centered on Gavin then Stacy you will appear later as Gavin's loving girlfriend.”

Both Gavin and Stacy nodded.

”Now start studying the script so that you will get accustomed to the storyboard and start internalizing the right emotions and facial expressions to project in the shoot. There will be some mild touching between you two. All the details are already drawn in the script's drawing, all you had to do is copy and project them on screen exactly as they are drawn. I expect that when we shoot tomorrow no more unpleasant awkwardness between the two of you. So, for example when I say let's do the # 3 sequence you will already know what to do and act upon it. Got it guys?”

”Yes Mr. Ross,” both Gavin and Stacy replied.

Mr. Ross rose to his feet and left the two models to get acquainted with each other.

”Gavin, how old are you?” asked Stacy.

”I'm 22 years old,” he replied.
