Actors in a infomercial looking into a camera for a fake mirror setup.

It happens every day in bathrooms all across America. A perfectly fine morning suddenly goes down the drain.

But now, a simple yet ingenious device is changing mornings everywhere. Because now, when anything falls down your drain you can get it back in just seconds with the revolutionary new Drain Mitt. You can even unclog a drain quickly by simply emptying or replacing the Drain Mitt basket. So there’s no more harsh chemicals or expensive calls to the plumber. And that’s good news. Because you never know what could end up going down your drain.

Drain Mitt. What will you catch?

This infomercial was shot in a single day at FireHouse Studios. I made the space into a bathroom with some simple background set dressing, a tile wall, and a pizza box cut into slashes. There were only 4 shots during the shoot that we needed to capture – 1 front facing “fake mirror”, 1 drain shot, and then 2 up close product shots that were setup a few feet over.

Overall I think it came out kinda cute, and I would love to see the kid’s outtakes as they were very heartwarming and “kid” like.
