~ Shooting Episode ~
NEW AD Campaign Story『The world’s a playground』
The shooting took place on Miyako and Irabu islands in Okinawa for three days.
The shooting starts with a scene where a pickup truck carrying a surfboard and a golf bag runs through the drive road leading to the cape. Mr. Kimura himself drives."It was a column shift manual car that I rarely saw recently, but I felt the wind blowing in through the fully opened window, so I put only the photographer on the passenger seat and drove comfortably." When Kimura joined the crew at the point set for the goal, he began to talk to the director, and when Kimura suggested taking a scene against the sea from a parking lot on a hill that he happened to see while driving, he said, "Let's go." I went to the parking lot under Kimura's guidance, and found a sightseeing visitor there. Then Mr. Kimura walked up to them and began to explain in detail whether it would be a nuisance to shoot a commercial or if it would be okay to point the camera in this direction from this position. The tourists who noticed that Kimura was talking to them were surprised. Nevertheless, while nodding to Mr. Kimura's words, which he continued to explain politely, he gave me a parking position with a good view and gave me a lot of cooperation in the shooting.
Bunker shot with action camera on head
The golf scene co-starred Kuranosuke Shimizu, who became the ninth high school student in history to win the amateur championship on the lower tour in 2023. At the age of 5, he was already attracting attention as a "prodigy kindergarten golfer," and he and Mr. Kimura had played together on a TV program when they were in elementary school. While having a fun time with Shimizu, a power hitter whose average driver shot is 300 yards, competing in an approach competition and challenging the famous hole over the ocean, the director asked him to hit a bunker shot with an action camera attached to the head of his club. The director asked him to shoot a bunker shot with the action camera attached to the head of the club.
In order to meet this request, Mr. Kimura himself gave instructions for adjusting the camera's position and angle, and after careful rehearsals, the team went into action.
Start! the sand edge, with its extremely heavy head, caught the ball beautifully and hit a nice on ball.
The sand edge, with its extremely weighted head, caught the ball and hit a nice on ball, and the shot was so good that the staff said, "I knew you were good at this! The staff said, "Mr. Kimura is a strong player on the day!
Fishing is also a professional skill!
Kimura is also known for his love of fishing. In a short time before the last shooting at the beach on this day, I borrowed a tackle (fishing gear) from the staff and started lure fishing. The precise and unparalleled casting that is released with a shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo is no longer a hobby.
Kimura, who had been hit several times, made the last pitch before the shooting resumed.Mr. Kimura pulls the poles together at the same time as the voice of "I ate it!" "Even though I was supposed to have worked part-time, I was wondering if there was any response, ""Huh? Did I get caught?"", but as I drew him in, he gradually became smiling." And he held up "I caught it!" and showed me a silver-colored fish about 25cm long.It was a child-sized barracuda.
"So cute!" says Kimura with a big smile. We released it carefully and started the last shoot of the day.
