School Portrait by Nick Scott
School Portrait by Nick Scott is a combination of nostalgic school portraits with a dash of reality check. It's adorable and hilarious. It will probably also be in the top ten viral videos of this year.
I was traveling in Italy last year when I had an idea about a school photographer who was having a bad day - seemed like a great excuse to work with Jonathan Rhodes. Producer Michael Berliner came on board and together we found Shirley High School and Stuart from Stagecoach, who introduced us to a wonderful group of kids who were excited about being involved.
The aim of the film was to tap into the nostalgia for peoples’ school photos: tie dye backgrounds, bright coloured uniforms and cheesy grins.

Just found out there's a longer version of this video. More hilariousness. Enjoy.
