2019 – Caroline Ognibene

Caroline Ognibene is an actress, model and gymnast from the New York area. This year she has been busy working for name brands including Target, L.L. Bean, Best Buy and you may have spotted her for Rubies Costumes while shopping this past Halloween!

1. What was the best part of working for Rubies Costumes?
Rubies costumes was so much fun! I got to dress up like a bunch of different superheroes. I even had to wear some boy costumes with the mask 🙂 But my favorite part for sure was being Jojo Siwa as I love her!!

2. What do you like most about shooting for Plum?
I love everything about shooting for Plum! They are my absolute favorite leotards and as I’m a level 8 gymnast, I practice a lot and wear lots of leos. I’ve gotten to meet so many awesome gymnastics friends from across the country. Also, the Plum owners/staff are just the nicest people and always make the shoots so fun! And we get to keep the leos!!

3. How did you enjoy shooting outdoors for L.L. Bean?
Shooting up in Maine for LL Bean was so amazing. It’s so beautiful there (although it was a little cold). It was a long day but I got to play with a dog on set and had such nice ‘parents’ for the day and got to canoe! It was a really great day and I love how the video came out.

4. What is the most challenging part of filming outdoors opposed to inside a studio?
Filming outdoors is hard because you have to deal with the weather (hot or cold, rain or snow) and especially the wind can ruin everyone’s hair and blow props away! Plus the shoot days sometimes have to get changed last minute because of bad weather. And we shoot winter clothes in summer when it’s soooo hot or summer clothes in fall when it’s cold!

5. How do you like working for Target?
Working for Target is always fun. I get to see all the clothes before they come out so I get to pick things I like so we know what to shop for. I love the clothes, especially their fleeces and athletic wear.

6. Do you have a favorite look you got to do for them?
My favorite Target clothes I wore were definitely the leggings and fleece looks. I want one of every one of those fleeces! They were so warm and cozy.

7. What was your time on set like filming your Best Buy commercial?
We filmed Beat Buy at the beginning of September so it was warm but we had to wear winter clothes. And there were so many crazy bees flying around. They brought in fake snow to make it look wintery which was amazing. It was melting but they kept bringing out more.

8. How does it feel when you see it airing on TV?
It’s always so fun to see my pictures or commercials on TV or in stores. And it’s fun when friends see it and tell me about it!

9. Who have been some of your favorite people to work with this year?
I’ve met a bunch of new wonderful friends this year which has been so fun! I had so much fun ‘playing’ on set with some new fun friends for Adidas. We worked hard but had so much fun.

10. What has been your favorite project to work on this year?
My favorite project this year was shooting the S/S 2020 Adidas campaign as I got to use my athletic skills and work at the same time which was so much fun. I can’t wait to see those pictures. We shot at a basketball court in Manhattan and it was super hot but it was so fun!
