The Listen Foundation Promo video


I had the opportunity to shoot a project with the Listen Foundation ( www.listenfoundation.org ). They have a phenomenal program helping hearing impaired children achieve normal lives through a technique called Auditory Verbal Therapy (AVT). After recently sending a final cut of the project, the foundation president sent me a kind email:

…You put great effort into ensuring all facets of the program were covered, all the key players were interviewed, all our questions answered and issues addressed. You were willing to listen to our comments and make changes accordingly, but also add your own keen sense of what a video should be to ensure we had a professional product that we could be proud of. Working with you was very enjoyable – you offered great advice, were very flexible and patient, and made sure interim and final cuts were available for us to view, and added music that really underscored the mood that we were trying to create. You are clearly a great talent, and I wish you well in your future endeavors. Please feel free to use this as an endorsement of your efforts on our behalf and share it freely. You did a wonderful job for us, and I am very grateful.

Juarez, Mexico Mission Trip

Over Spring 2008, a great group of middle school students visited Juarez Mexico (during some of the drug dealer vs. Federales conflicts)

I was honored to be asked to tag along and pull this video together for them.

Update: Like other posts from 2008, the compression on this video is terrible! Wow, how the new compression technologies have improved!!!
