WILL IT BLEND PROMOTIONAL VIDEO

A while ago, I produced a series of videos that promote the Total Blender, Mix N Blend, and other Blendtec products in the form of an infomercial.  As you can see here, Scott Christopher and Shaunna Thompson are meeting with Tom Dickson on camera.  They did a great job.  These videos are on DVD and being placed in each machine as they are shipped out.  Soon, we hope to buy air time and format the videos into an infomercial length program. Watch just a piece of the video on my YouTube account.  

HANGING AT SOUTH PADRE ISLAND

I took with me host Scott Christopher, accomplished musician and sound mixer Gerald Hartley my lovely wife Stephanie and I to South Padre Island last week.  I will have more pictures and videos as I get editing.  We started a new ad campaign called "There's An Island In Texas", which will encourage people to come to South Padre Island, Texas.  Many people don't even know there is an island in Texas.  Though some thought SPI was hurt by the hurricane, when in reality, it landed about 300 miles north.  So almost nothing happened.  We filmed for about 8 days, with Host Scott going from place to place meeting the people who make the island happen.  It is also where I grew up (born in Virginia, moved to South Texas at 10).  Here is a shot of me with Gerald on camera, following me into the house I used to live in.  It was a little sentimental for me because it is where the seeds of my filmmaking began.  I made my first movie when I was 11 in this house.  

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND - PROMOTIONAL VIDEO

Just got back from South Padre Island, Texas (where I grew up).  I have been commissioned to produce a promotional video and series of short viral videos for YouTube to help promote SPI.  I have really enjoyed the beach there and feel it is great alternative for people who can't afford to go to Florida, California or Hawaii beaches.  

On this trip, I took my sons Forrest and Parke on this quick trip that only lasted 3 days.  Forrest a senior in high school this year, felt that he may want to go down again after graduation. 

I shot some 2nd unit footage with my camera, but plan on bringing a full crew, including my wife, at the end of September.  I have Scott Christopher coming to play narrator/on-camera talent.  We are going in September to escape the heat and still have many things open, yet not as crowded. 

Will keep you updated.
