If you ever wonder why your everyday burgers nothing like what you see on the commercials or billboards, here’s the behind-the-scene video that should shed some light (no pun intended) on that topic.  Watch Hope Bagozzi, Director of Marketing for McDonald’s, as she walks you through a typical photoshoot. She first stops by a local McD’s and picks up a Quarter Pounder with cheese and heads over to Watt International, an...

I have been very fascinated by making videos. Ever since I started shooting time-lapse, I’ve become more and more appreciative of videos. While shooting photos is still a blast, I think videos are just more live, emotional, and rewarding. Now, I’m not here to say shooting videos is any easy at all, but it just seems that videos are a bit easier to shoot than photos, and they’re definitely a lot more fun to shoot. For...

These stop-motion videos made by PES are so brilliant; I can only imagine the amount of work that these projects took. Even the sound is perfectly matched with the video. The idea behind these videos is to use different objects as ingredients for these cooking recipes. The dicing up into smaller dice was my favorite part, and I love that there were some larger dice left over when he was finished with them. You can try this method of making...

Hang on guys, my keyboard is still wet from all the drool I had after watching this Carl’s Jr. commercial. Those things look so good, you must be crazy if you don’t want to give it a try. Oh, and the Southwest Patty Melt is good too, I’ve tried it The new Carl’s Jr. burger features a charbroiled beef patty, with sliced jalapeños, grilled onions, pepper-Jack cheese and spicy Santa Fe sauce, all on grilled sourdough...

In fact she often joked with her boyfriend Alan Travers that the ingredients could make it by themselves! This – as it would most men (ahem) – stirred Alan to create this wonderful stop motion animation in both homage to Dee and her ingredients where the latter do...

Ah, Thanksgiving, one of our excuses to consume food enough for one week, within one day. If you know me, you know I eat a lot. Not just food, but crappy food as well. Luckily, the holidays make everyone else eat a lot like me too, so they can’t say anything about the fact that I eat like a pig. This year’s Thanksgiving was no different; we had a lot of food lined up on the menu. Although, to reduce the work and the time, we...

Every Sunday afternoon, I go home for a family dinner. It’s usually nothing big, just a regular dinner with the dishes that we all enjoy. Last Sunday was different; it was our grandpa’s birthday, so we had food catered to our house. Mmmmm food I couldn’t wait, so I came home early, and I brought my camera with me. Since no one arrived yet, I busted out my macro lens and did a few shots while waiting… Those water droplets, they...
