Filming in the Heat: Off to Shanghai Again for Hot Shoot
Posted on 09:30 by clark
I'm off to Shanghai again for a shoot. It will be 97 and humid. This will be a very challenging shoot in these kind of conditions.
Necessities for filming in heat:
Cooler with ice for keeping drinks and humans cool
Drinks - must keep everyone hydrated!
Sunscreen
Lip balm with sunscreen
Umbrellas
Handkerchiefs to soak in water to put on face, neck and head
Hats
Lightweight pants, shirts and jackets
Area with AC nearby for relief
Moving slower than usual - build time in the schedule for the crew to not rush
Here's to a successful shoot in the sun!
Oh and as I leave, we just released a new Hi. It's Taryn. video. Learn how to create a Cat Eye! Don't think I'll do this for the hot shoot but perhaps when we return to our cool hotel for dinner, it's something to attempt. Enjoy!

Use Hair Chalk for Cool Colors in Your Hair - And We're Giving Some Away - Watch Our New "Hi. It's Taryn."
Posted on 09:22 by clark
As you all may know, I recently partnered with writer/director Leena Pendharkar on the YouTube channel So Natural TV. We're making sharp-witted shorts for women - and men too!
As part of the channel, we started a beauty, fashion and DIY series hosted by style expert Taryn Horacek called "Hi. It's Taryn." Taryn has a really fun, quirky style and great tips for everyone's style.
I'm the first to ignore my style regimen so working with Taryn has really sparked my inner girliness. I'm loving her approachable, easy-to-use tips and finding myself actually thinking about what make-up I want to wear. There are some really fun beauty products out there. And Taryn will be reviewing as many as she can.
For all you techies, we're filming the episodes on a DSLR. We have a couple of lights and a shot gun mic. We're loving the ease of the shoots and the great content Taryn is providing for us all. We hope you check it out and subscribe to So Natural TV.
One of the funky ways to introduce color to your hair is through hair chalking. Before I started working on "Hi. It's Taryn.," I had no idea what hair chalking was. Essentially, you can use any kind of chalk to put cool colors in your hair. And it washes out easily. Who knew?
Right now, we're giving away a free set of hair chalk from Free People. All you have to do is watch the giveaway video below and comment on your favorite band. We will send the set of hair chalk to our favorite response.
First, here's a tutorial for how to use hair chalk from our own Taryn:

Note from an Intern
Posted on 19:32 by clark
Hi all,
I received the following email from a former intern with whom I worked after I posted my last blog about internships. I was truly humbled and touched by it. I had no idea I had helped shape the future of an intern who worked with me. Thanks Lydia - for reaching out and letting me know. It means a lot and I hope shows that internships are so valuable. I thought I'd share.

Note from an intern:
Hi Jane,
Back in the summer of 2004, I was an intern for Weed Road and had the pleasure of working with you. Of all the internships I had, the three months I spent there were the best and it was an amazing learning experience. At the time, I was able to work with you, Ashley and Viruna.
I just read your post about being grateful for internships and I must say I was grateful for each of mine. When I was at Weed Road, I was coming up on my last year in school, eager to get working on anything I could, and wanting to learn as much as possible. I had a lot of questions about a variety of things and I distinctly remember you in particular being nice enough to listen, answer, and give me your opinion.
It was a long time ago and I don't expect you to remember every intern that came across your path. I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know I had a great internship experience and a large part of that was because of you.
I enjoy reading your blog posts and look forward to the next one. Hope all is well and that you continue to do great things.
All the best,
Lydia
