It's a bit of a mess, but I'm grateful to everyone who contributed.

Features: Interview with Brian Bouyea, filmmaker, producer-director of "Famous"; some live music from The Ragtag Band (formed five minutes before shooting); voice over comedy skit using a 1940's PSA.

The music from the Ragtag Band is original, and was basically created on the spot, and the host had seen the script only five minutes before the shoot.

The voiceover segment (for which I wrote the script) is from a 1940's PSA, and is in the Public Domain.

Special thanks to our guest, filmmaker Brian Bouyea, and to our instructor Mark Foley, who stood in as host for the interview when we were short a student.

Mighty W.O.R.R.M. advertisement

This is a video I created, as an afterthought, from an assignment in my Oral Communications class at New England Institute of Technology.

The assignment was a 4-5 minute commercial, of an imaginary product or service, following two sets of rules which make up an effective advertisement:  Monroe's Motivated Sequence (attention, need, satisfaction, visualization, action); and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (physical, safety, belonging, esteem, self-actualization).

We were to deliver this fake ad in front of the classroom.  The original lasted a full 5 minutes, but for the sake of the short-attention-span folks who typically roam the internet, I've reduced it to 4 minutes.

The script, the placards with the images of the people, the sock puppet, and the flashing pen were all used in the live presentation. The music is public domain from Muse Open.
