MotionMasters and Jamie Oliver: Part Two

It’s a good thing the MotionMasters crew is accustomed to shooting under rigorous and challenging conditions because the sight—and smell—of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s cooking is nothing short of torture. Tapped by ABC/Disney for another day of shooting Oliver’s upcoming TV shows, we stayed busy from the first rough chop of the vegetables to the final stir fry in an al fresco kitchen set up near Huntington’s Pullman Square.

According to MotionMasters Videographer Wesley Poole, “We got lots of great angles and close-ups of the food, but we never got to taste any of it because we were shooting 100 percent of the time. I was starving when we finished!”

MotionMasters also shot interviews and cover video for an EPK, an electronic press kit that will be used by ABC affiliates to promote “Jamie’s Food Revolution.”

One hundred woks were set up by Oliver’s student chefs and hundreds more of the local residents turned out to prepare a healthful, delicious meal—and see a TV show in the making.

“It’s a very big production,” said MM Executive Producer Brian Peterson of the ABC/Disney shoot. “Well coordinated and well executed. We’ve done two shoots for the ‘Food Revolution’ series. Maybe the third time will be the charm and we’ll finally get to taste something.”
