Royal Caribbean ~ Shellphone
This was the first and only campaign done “off ship” for Royal Caribbean. After delivering spots from the ships- to air from the middle of the ocean - in less than 24 hours, Shellphone was a welcome breath of fresh air. We shot in NYC, Portland ME, Chicago and Austin TX. Everyone you see is either street casted or a friend we picked up along the way. All the interactions with The Sea were done live, with a device we spent weeks of R&D time and DOZENS of dollars developing. It worked a charm and was too fun to use. I think I wore three headsets while directing this one.
There’s too much to say about the work I did for Royal Caribbean. Too many fantastic people to name. It’s overwhelming to think about all the places we went, ships we visited and oceans we crossed. Royal Caribbean came at a very special time in my life, where I was working with my friends and my lady was executive producing for East Pleasant as well. You can even find my 3-year-old, Axl in one of the spots I posted below. There are so many great moments over the years with Royal Caribbean. I tried to capture a fraction of them below.
