tmronin

back in the day, twwly and i were shooting with SG haden and needed to oil her down. well, she had a date later in the day and didn't want to be covered in baby oil ALL DAY. (for those of y'all who don't know, you have to make a commitment to wear baby oil cuz it sure makes a commitment to you!)

so, while wandering around twwly's kitchen trying to think of something to grease her down...suddenly we looked at each other, then at haden then at the cupboard...PAM!


so after a couple sets using PAM and a lot of in-jokes....the tattoo was inked (a thank you gift for shooting twwly's wedding)


so...time passes and some other sets with PAM come along from other photogs...i pretty much stop using PAM in my sets.

elly and scottsmallin were coming into town and wanted to shoot..."do you have any ideas?" they asked...
"well, i have been wanted to shoot the be-all, end-all of PAM sets, the PAM swansong so to speak...."

so Secret Agent PAM was born.

some facts about the set:

- all in all, 2 complete cans of PAM were spayed on various things - the air, elly, etc. there was sooo much PAM that it was puddling on the chair and floor. it really was tough not to slip and kill oneself while walking on the set.
- all hair and styling was done by that rockstar scottsmallin
- the briefcase (actually the teamrockstar location case) is totally empty during the acutal shooting of the set. adorama didn't have the 1500cc foam insert in stock, so any of the PAM hero shots in the case were shot on my bed in brooklyn about a month later.

- the shots where you can actually see the inside of the case, the foam was photoshopped in:

buttttt....
i did fuck up one frame and had elly put her hand all the way into the case:

- the arms in the video cam footage are scottsmallin's, while the leg is mine.

thanks for looking and commenting on this set - it really is one of my favorites that i have shot and working with elly and scottsmallin was a great time!
