Ok, that's Peter in make-up and at the keyboard. Last week there was a commercial filming of a new online service, and I was there like a vegetable, well, not really but almost. It was a cloud service! What the heck is a cloud?
Some smart person has figured out that if our computer wants to take a bath in a glass of white or red, everything we hold dear is saved in a cloud. Why don't we have a positive relationship with this and say that we save everything in a rainbow. Join us!

Recording of advertising films
I found out through contacts that they were shooting a commercial for the company Kiliaro. There was a girl in the industry called Cecilia who I've known for a while and she said she'd be willing to do it. We don't get paid, but we think it's fun, so here we go.
I picked her up in Stockholm and we headed out to the south side of Stockholm. I had packed some changes because there had been some pictures of how the company wanted it. My friend Cecilia had been out on the galley the night before so she was just right, haha.
Full house
At ten o'clock and after several cups of coffee for Cecilia (hungover), the camera crew, the stylist and two girls arrived with a one-year-old to join them. His name was Nickolas and he was always happy, BUT not today.
Camera equipment, lights and whole tables of make-up were loaded in and little Nickolas looked terrified. Once everything was in place, the little one would be filmed first. The plan was for him to be given slices of lemon at the kitchen table and make sour faces. HERE WE GO! He loved lemon and no pouting, haha.
Green
They filmed Cecilia and me from different angles and there were cables, lights inside and outside and people everywhere. Now it was time for my big entrance to turn GREEN. The stylist laughed at the mask she put on and it will be fun to see how it looks on film.
I was given several tasks on different shots but the hardest one that I didn't know about was that Cecilia and I would argue, and I would be quite angry, painted green. It was really hard and I had wanted to load for it before, because I'm always happy, hmmm, tricky. I thought you turned red when you get angry?
Ciliaro
Kiliaro is an online service that costs only €19 per month. You get as many GIGs as possible compared to what other services offer. You save photos, videos, and many things you hold dear in the digital world. I don't know if it's good because I haven't used it, but give it a try! FREEDOMtravel on new adventures again.
Have you ever worked in a film or as a stylist?
åsa in åsele says:
Great 🙂 I now have the explanation for your green face 🙂 .
I've never been on a TV programme or anything like that,
but Elin & her dad were in the Zombie film that was shot here in Åsele in 2015, a children's programme, TV series.

Haha oh my god! I became really curious to see this commercial now 😉 Easy as a fun day! Have also tested their service and look forward to them adding more features in the future.

Ditte says:
Fun! And you are a richer experience for sure.
Recording takes time and there are often some reshoots.
I have tried advertising and being an extra in a feature film a few years ago and would be happy to do it again. (Got a little paid though...)
Otherwise, I have been hanging out with my three- and six-year-old grandchildren on advertising film shoots and commercial photography. I want them to be in a good mood and they usually have been.
Nice with this cloud service, will read up on it. I now have I-cloud which I am happy with.
PS When I saw the picture, I immediately thought of an advert for the Green Party. They seem to need a bit of a pick-me-up.

Peter Bergström says:
Åsa in Åsele: Zobie make-up sounds fun with clothes and everything. then you can release all the strange things you wear haha.
Jenn - Forever abroad: Maybe I should try the service. Cecilia and I had a lot of fun together so it was a different kind of everyday life.
Absolutely right Ditte: The Green Party is not doing well so they may employ me in the future because I am an expert now, haha. Of course, you have been in commercials and I'm trying to work my way towards catching up with you, but it's hard. hugs.

Haha, what a different adventure! I smiled my way through the whole story because you always tell it so well and with humour.
Looking forward to seeing the results!
Yes, I have been in a couple of advertising films. Once as an 18th century lady to show old/new printing techniques, and another time to advertise a chair for the disabled. I was filmed for a whole day in an apartment, where I "cooked", "received friends" etc. It's not easy to play that my legs don't work. I have also been in other productions and been on stage many times. 🙂

Maggan and Ingemar says:
Gosh .... I thought you were going to play the "Hulk" or advertise men's face masks. 🙂 So exciting to make a film....I've never done that and probably never will either. You / you really get to be involved in a lot..... you live a rich life, one can probably say 🙂 Hope we get to see that advert and how you manage to be angry 🙂.

Inga Magnusson says:
Green if you are angry was something new to me. Looks like fun! You have so much fun these days in your lives! But maybe you've always had that, I don't know much about it. Have good weekends anyway!

I participate in films at work sometimes and find it fun. Maybe that's why I try to start my Youtube channel as well. 😉

Wow... like the Hulk! Exciting commercial!

Goatfish says:
That looks scary! Peter Green Hulk 😀 would love to see you angry on film, haha!
As I mentioned earlier, my youngest son loved to dress up as the Hulk when he was about 6 years old. He had gotten hold of his grandfather's sweater that was sewn in seams here and there, and then he was strong 😀.
Nice to have been on a film set! I haven't. But I was in the Karl XII games in Ed in 1993. Here is a link http://www.norradalskulturforening.se/html/historik.php It was big then 😀.

Anna, New York...: Hi Anna! What you have been through. Sitting in a wheelchair for a whole day would probably be something many of us would experience, to gain more understanding of e.g. Steve. In any case, we had fun.
Maggan and Ingmar: There's a lot going on around, but I'm the kind of person who, when I hear something, screams, "I want to be in the film!". I am eagerly awaiting the film.
Inga Magnusson: Hi Inga! There has always been a lot going on in our lives, but I think we have become more personalised over time. I think it's more pleasant for everyone.
Dryden: I think you make good films and we'll see if I can reach your status with the new 360 camera. What fun to do it from time to time and I would like to have more of it.
Anki: Haha, but I wish it had been real hulks, so I just have to act out and be a little crazy.
Geddfish: Hi Gerd! I will of course look at the link and enjoy it.

Geddfish: That didn't look so small and I think you had fun.

JoY says:
Green with envy I've heard but not that you get green with anger hahaha
No, I have not been involved in any filming, just been interviewed at the Kista Fair, which then ended up on Youtube of all places.

A real vegetable - in a double sense 😉 An exciting experience! I've never heard of Kiliaro, but maybe it's worth checking out?

Good luck in the film industry.

BP says:
Hahaha! I just have to see that film:-) Your readers have clearly associated with different things when they see your face. What I spontaneously thought of was the spa, where you can lubricate yourself with different "gels" and get a whole new face on the purchase. But then you get two cucumber slices as eyes too.
Then I thought that they should have repainted you as a pepper when you were playing the scene with the argument.
It's great fun anyway.
Have never been on a film shoot, but have been groomed for corporate photography. Oh then I hardly recognised myself after the make-over;-)

Peter Bergström says:
Joy: So you're on YouTube, what a star. We hope to find it eventually.
Liniztravel: Hi Lina! Some people don't sit in the tv4 studio and talk so we have to stick to commercials, haha. Merry Christmas.
Steve: I don't think you become a celebrity but I hope to perform with the new 360 camera, and give everyone a real ride.
Marina: I will load it tomorrow and start using it, so I will write about it a little later. No limit GIG is nothing wrong.
Gun: Haha, what a thing and I want to do that. Imagine the feeling of having your own magic ointment, wow.
Haha BP. I also don't recognise myself after styling!!!! So what can I say other than you were clearly better looking than me.

Not in response to this, but I have just spent three days on a course at Hornsberg beach. Is it across the water where the Freedom is located?

Criss-cross: Now you are crazy! I would also like his super power and his paintings, noooo, I am not that person, but I am very happy that you think so, or more than happy. Many many many warm hugs.

Mia, 46 years old, Småland!
Love to write and work on getting my blog to grow upwards and my blog will be about my diganoses and mental illness and get it out to the general public. Here, everyday life, diagnosis, pictures (both system camera and mobile phone) are mixed with thoughts and thoughts about this with diganosis and mental illness, etc.
I have created this blog to share my thoughts on mental illness, tell you how it affects me and hopefully be able to support others!
My diagnoses are Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger's, Autism, Developmental Disorder, OCD, depression, etc.
Feel free to ask questions if you have any questions - no question is too stupid!
If you want to contact me, you can ask for it! My e-mail address!
Dare to join the journey in my blog? Let's get started!
My blog is mostly personal and you can read about what's going on in my everyday life.
You will find out more about what will happen in the future!

I recognise the waiting and re-takes, but not the green mask 😀.
"We took part in a commercial for Net 1 three years ago and that film took all day. Still, I thought it was fun to see how they work and what the result was.
I look forward to your commercial and whether you intend to continue with that career.

There has been a lot of talk about having a white Christmas. A white Christmas that does not mean snow but alcohol-free Christmas. I think that's good, of course. But it is also not something that I experience as a problem in my family. We are just as content with Christmas moustache as anything else. Although I like to drink some wine or a schnapps with the herring. Shit, I think I look like an alcoholic no matter how I phrase it. But everyone who knows me knows that this is not the case.
Something that I see as a bigger problem is the mobile phone. On the other hand, I think it is a thing that does NOT belong on Christmas Eve!!!! Christmas Eve should be celebrated with presence!!! Therefore, I will check out of the cyber world at 15.00 when Kalle Anka starts and let my mobile phone sleep until Christmas Eve is over!!!!
I will celebrate Christmas with my loved ones!!!!
Who is with me on this?
