The company I work for makes the occasional TV ad, and I'm really chuffed to have been part of this one. It's for a marvellous not-for-profit organisation that provides all sorts of services for people with disabilities, helping them participate in more aspects of the mainstream community. It's really nice to feel that sometimes advertising can do good things for good people.
On the day of the shoot I was wearing my handmade stripey top, and ended up stepping in as last minute er, 'talent'. Hello, back of my head! Hello, totally unprepared hairdo! But excitingly, hello handmade clothing on television!
(The presenter is a local TV newsreader and delightful to work with, as was everyone.)
It's so wonderful that organisations like Barkuma exist. Human nature can be very inspiring sometimes.
