Day 3 of TV shoot - posted Thursday 30th July
There’s me thinking yesterday was a tough day! We got so much done today though and used loads of different set locations.
We filmed our host looking out of the island hilltop looking onto the tombola island world. There is a funny bit in the ad where he throws his binoculars onto a hat stand, of course they land perfectly.... however, they didn’t to start with – they nearly ended up in the ocean! We got there in the end, it looks effortless!
We then drove miles around the island, how the recce team found these locations I do not know – we seemed to be in the back of beyond! But the locations are great for showing off our unique games – bingo 90, Cinco and Bingo Roulette. We had signs made for them – they are all locally handmade from bamboo – we wanted to ship them over but we decided not to in the end – they’re massive!
At 4.30pm, we moved on to shoot the ‘postman’ – fastest advert ever made I think! Luckily, we just shot in one location and with a few camera angles. The guy who featured as the postman literally took a running jump into the ocean, it was brilliant. This ad won’t be on air until later in the year so I’ll remind you later about it.

Can you guess where we are?
