An oldie but a goodie. My hero:

While i was in Barcelona to work on another project (may 2006) i learnt that Mercurio was there too for a shoot for Alpha Romeo cars. My boss is out of his mind and proposed me to organize a day of shooting to create a viral for the campaign they were doing. The interesting thing is that i would have to work with Kiran, the man who were acting inside this suit of a giant sloth; i discovered he had been in so many important movies, the last one being the stunt double for Frodo in the Lord of the Rings movies. And the funnier detail is that we didn't have a script, so i would have to come up with an idea for the next shoot while shooting the previous. But Kiran and all the crew was super professional and we had a lot of fun.
