NIKE COMMERCIAL SHOT AT G-STAR STUDIOS

3/5/2010

"The security is very tight," says Studio CEO Greg Hauptner. "We are not able to divulge which star or stars are here being featured in the shoot."

G-Star Studios accommodates stepped up security quite often. Last year's Radiohead music video, which garnered seven Grammy nominations, had the Studios in lock down mode.

"The wildest security issue we had to deal with was when Dylan and Cole Sprouse, teen stars of Disney's Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Suite Life on Deck starred in their first feature film here," continues Hauptner. "It was like the Beatles coming to America in 1964 - crying, screaming girls everywhere trying to break through security to get to them."

NIKE brought a crew of approximately 30 to 40 and loaded in at the G-Star Studios last Wednesday. They will finish shooting sometime after this weekend.

"They are sparing no expense," states Hauptner. "This is where our students have the advantage over any other school in the nation. They are able to work on the sets of feature films, major commercials and music videos with the best professionals in the business."

G-Star is the only high school in the world that is creating a motion picture industry to employ its students when they graduate from college. It is the largest Film, TV Production and Acting high school in the USA; and the only high school that owns a commercial motion picture studio.
