Actual had the pleasure of collaborating with the Oregon Culinary Institute for the last couple of months on their new ad campaign. This was our second project with OCI, following up the “OCI Heritage Pig Project” documentary in 2010.

We had a blast working with the chef instructors and the students at the school and shooting all over Portland. Hopefully you enjoy, and are inspired to whip up a delicious dish… or maybe even enroll in the Culinary, Baking & Pastry, or Culinary Management program over at OCI. (It’s a ad, so I had to add that).

Actual would like to extend a huge thank you to Grochau Wine Cellars, Kobos Coffee, Wealth Underground Farm, and the Portland Farmers Market for welcoming us into your spaces, showing us around, and letting us shoot. We were lucky enough to sample some delicious wine, coffee, and farm fresh vegetables along the way.

Also, a big thank you to the crew that made this ad possible, from concept to final product: Director – Annie Tonsiengsom, Creative Director – Bradley Mosher, Storyboard Artist and Creative Collaborator – Dan Schaefer, Producer – Janique Robillard, DP – Bradley Sellers, 2nd Camera – Aaron C. Wong, 1st AC – Eric Macey, 2nd AC / DIT – Tim Gowen, 1st AD – Ryan Montgomery, Production Coordinator – Jean Herbold, Gaffer – Jim Davis, Swing G&E – Jake Lyon, Anthony Argostino, and Jaime Ginesky,  Art Asst. – April Jones, Editor – Greg Day… you guys were all amazing and each played a role in the success of this project.
