Here's a brand spanking new video taking you behind-the-scenes on the making of Arctic Spy Nazanin's shoot. Model Nazanin Mandi slipped into the espionage-themed shoot with remarkable ease, making us all wonder if this whole modeling thing is just a cover. This shoot day was a particularly large production, as we photographed several of the SlickforceGirls in one day. My thanks to the amazing team that helped us pull it off!

SlickforceGirl: Behind the Scenes with Brittany Dailey from Nick Saglimbeni on Vimeo.

Alright guys, this might be my favorite SlickforceGirl video yet. You've seen the beautiful Vanessa Veasley in harness training, and she's walked you through her spaceship set. Now, go backstage with SlickforceGirl Stunt Coordinator Alex Wen as we put it all together and make Vanessa fly. So proud of Vanessa for being a consummate professional and a tough-as-nails trooper on this intense shoot—I can't even imagine how uncomfortable it is hanging from a string, but she makes it look easy. This is probably the most fun I've ever had on set. My thanks to Alex Wen, the entire SlickforceStudio team, glam squad Gaby Ramos Torell, Al Ingram and Diana Chan, and everyone who made this shoot possible. Up, up and away!

Here's a cool behind-the-scenes look at the making of Erika Medina's SlickforceGirl shoot. What a fun (and cold) day this was! Thanks to Erika for being such a trooper during the shoot, and to the entire SlickforceStudio team who helped us pull off this dynamic concept. See the finished shots from Erika's SlickforceGirl shoot here. And order the Erika's Collector's Edition "Unzipped" 24x36 wall poster right here before they're gone!

Here's the first in-depth look at the making of the very first SlickforceGirl shoot. I'm not going to say much here because the video speaks for itself. The scale of this shoot was larger than even I had anticipated, but it was also ultimately the most exciting single production day of my career. What a blast to be able to see so much of what's inside your head manifest before your eyes into a reality. My thanks to the amazing team of artists and assistants who helped us pull off this stellar shoot. Lots more to come from our space-traveling hero. Enjoy!

The title pretty much sums it up. Here's Vanessa Veasley trying on a real astronaut suit in preparation for her SlickforceGirl role. I wonder if Neil Armstrong ever said, "I don't know if I'm feeling this one, you can't see my boobs."

[nggallery id=2] In the summer of 2010, I began prep on what would become a two-year-long production of SlickforceGirl. I wrote concepts and drew up storyboards for the vibrant and heroic characters, and then cast model and friend Vanessa Veasley in the role of the first SlickforceGirl. Here, stunt coordinator and good friend Alex Wen—owner of KCW Studios—harnesses up Vanessa and teaches our leading lady to fly on wires. And in the clip below, you'll get your first glimpse into Vanessa's otherworldly character, as we near the SlickforceGirl launch next week and prepare to release the first images. Enjoy!
