Miki House Christmas

Another job with Miki House, our favorite company to work with!

This time we rode the shinkansen (bullet train) to Osaka to film at their headquarters.  This was for their Christmas catalog, but we filmed it in August so Jonas' hair was still short.

They did his hair and wardrobe right inside the store itself.

Jonas fell in love with this bear that plays music and dances.

My Mom thinks it is amazing that Jonas, Mr. Constant Wiggle, is able to be still long enough to pose for a shot.  Well here you can see he was literally climbing the walls during the shoot.  However the director liked it and made him do this pose over and over... Jonas had so much fun!

I LOVE the director, Yamamotosan.  He is fantastic.

Look at this crew... Do you think Jonas is getting enough attention :)

The hard part about this job is since it was shot in August, it was HOT and HUMID.  Jonas had to pose in winter clothes... he smiled but he was miserable.

One of the sweet helpers fanned Jonas inbetween cuts...

it did not cool him off, but it was sweet of her to try.

"I'n hot"

(that is not a typ-o, that is how he says I'm)

Since this was a Christmas shoot, there were seasonal props everywhere... this one is hilarious, "Jesus" stockings, because Jesus has been a good boy all year of course.  When they saw me taking pictures of the stockings they asked why and I explained that you would not see Jesus name on stockings for a window display.  They took them down after that.

This cute assistant spoke really good English.  He was a great help.
