Circumstances being that I had been on the people organizing this thing for about two months about putting together some promotions. No response, so I let it go and focused on other projects. Just under two weeks from the date of the event, I get an email about putting together a commercial. There is not script, no photos, no material whatsoever.
I originally said no, but then changed my mind. I went online to collect some facts, put together a rough script, make some cue cards, and drove to Ken's house to record the voice parts. He did not want to read from the cue cards. We did a total of eight takes, some of them were rambling for nearly a minute! But I knew what all sound clips were needed for me to piece together what I wanted.
Came home, uploaded the footage, made some titles, Jim sent me some photos that (thankfully) were already clipped and masked, and pieced together the sound clips. I used footage that I captured at the three most recent events, when I had my new HD camera. It took me about two hours to put it all together, and I'm really pleased for what it is.
My only issue is in beginning, when he says he wants to talk about the #4 killer in the US, which is stroke, and then there is NOTHING mentioned about stroke after that. I should have clipped that part out and just said, "invite you to the stroke benefit." But, it's done, and I think that no one else but me will really notice because they are going to see it once or twice on tv and not be paying attention and picking it apart like I am/did.
