๐ฆข SKOOL OF HARD HONKS:
The Modna Files (2011) Listen up, class. You think your client is difficult? Try directing 30 geese who haven't had their morning espresso and think your $2,000 designer wardrobe is actually a buffet. ๐ THE "BEHIND THE SCENES" REALITY: โข The Concept: "Ethereal Lake Goddesses." โข The Reality: "Please don't bite the models' ankles." โข The Soundtrack: Not lo-fi beats. Just aggressive HONKING at 120 decibels. โข The Workout: Do you know how hard it is to stabilize a boat with one hand and a camera with the other while a swan tries to hijack the vessel? Thatโs core strength, baby. ๐ก THE SYLLABUS (What 15 Years Taught Me): 1. Animal Talent is Cheap: They don't need hair and makeup, but they will unionize if you don't have bread. 2. Fog is Your Friend: It hides the fact that the models are actually terrified of the 20-pound bird staring them down. 3. The "Goose Filter": Before Instagram had filters, we just used "Bird Chaos" to create depth and texture. It's organic. Itโs free-range. ๐ FINAL EXAM QUESTION: If a goose hissed at you in 2011 and nobody posted a Reel about it, did it even happen? Photography is 10% lighting, 10% composition, and 80% convincing wildlife that you aren't a threat to their sovereignty. Team playerz Klub @Nick Roddam
