Day of DOOM!

[Chris McKechnie]

I recently DP'd/shot this latest trailer/promo for the newest Doom Game - remember that old school FPS shooter game long ago? Well, they are having a major live event coming up at the end of this month to help promote their upcoming Doom game release, and this is a trailer used to create excitement and let people know about it!

The 4 talent in the beginning are by no means actors...just youtube celebrities..so stick with it in the beginning...it gets funny. Hope you enjoy!

Haha...Once again...I had no idea who these people were...just not on YouTube enough.

^^ thats what i was thinking

It was funny because I asked the director who these you tubers were...and he laughed and said - yea, they are pretty big apparently. I guess I'm not in the know when it comes to these "celebs" that I come into contact with when I should be "star-struck" but am not...like...at all. Maybe it gives them a break from - let me take a selfie with you. Hehe

 

[Scot Yount]

I wouldn't be star struck, but iJustine is kind of a big deal...ha.

 

[jake southard]

Yeah I'm not one to be star struck, people are people.
Some are just... extremely attractive

Looks like a fun project Chris, nice work! Out of curiosity did you shoot that in Austin or Los Angeles?

Shot in warehouse in LA. Couldn't rig anything from above (other than the t-bar used to rig kinos above kitchen counter)...which sucked, but I think we made it work. G&E was a team of 2. Had a decent area to light, so we had that half day load in/pre-light, which meant we could essentially start rolling once talent was out of H&M the following morning.
