Daddy Newbie Adventures in Fatherhood
Related Articles
We, here at Daddy Newbie Studios, were asked by the great guys/dads at the Life of Dad to become one of 25 Official Entrants in a contest to meet The Rock in either LA or NY– inspired by The Rocks Super Bowl spot #SuperMilkMan.
[Please check out thebreakfastproject.com, and @MilkMustache (#SuperMilkMan and #TheRock).]
I have to say… When asked to do this, I jumped at the idea:
- One because both boys drink tons of milk.
- And let’s face it, milk is pretty darn good for you.
Now, I know I’m probably supposed to say that I would love to meet The Rock, but (to be honest) I am all about kicking the tar out of my fellow dad bloggers. Beating them, and bragging about it for the next year = priceless. So, meeting The Rock and being a #SuperMilkMan–that all would just be icing on an already super-yummy cake.
Here’s Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson:
So, without further ado… The waiting is over!
That’s right, folks! The epic-summer movie everyone has been waiting for is here.
As part of our contest entry, we produce a superhero movie–that would make Man of Steel and Iron Man 3 look like a video shot by an amateur on Instagram.
So, with a $300 million dollar budget (minus the $300 million part) and a 90-day shooting schedule (more like a 9-minute shoot)–all this was shot on IMAX film format (well, it was a HD iPad mini camera). We were fortunate enough to have access to a massive wardrobe department (more like: an old shirt that the boys and I cut up for masks PLUS a few towels for capes).
The boys and I had a lot of fun doing this project.
It took a couple of days, and a few extra-glasses of milk, but we got through it. One of the stars of this video was a little hard to work with, as he had his own thoughts on what he wanted to do for filming. But, big brother was a trooper and keep this group together, and I am extremely proud of him.
E may have a career in film–with how well he acted in this. We also had great behind-the-scenes video and pics, so check them out on Instagram as well.

Nice job, Don! Thanks for the mention!
Oh… and you’re going down son!
Kind sir, the only thing going down is the level of the milk in my gallon jug. I will let you know what The Rock was cooking after I meet him.
Your welcome, and yours was great as well. For 2nd place 🙂
