We are all so accustomed to being connected that it is hard to imagine what our lives would be like without our mobile devises. No cell calls, no text messages, no ability to check how many likes your most recent Facebook post has racked up while you are out at your child’s piano recital. Yes, a virtual hell-scape. Such is the premiss of this video I wrote and directed for gyro Cincinnati and wireless network provider, Crown Castle.
The folks at gyro approached me to help them develop a humorous video for Crown Castle around the theme “imagine a world without mobile”. The video was used in a pitch so our budget was…. um…. challenging. PPS provided production and editorial services (a special shout out to editor extraordinaire, Preston Price and his lovely wife Deb who provided stellar Voice Over work!) All on-screen talent are gyro employees and did one hell of a good job. It was kind of like one of those old Micky Rooney movies. “Let’s put on a show! We can use my granddad’s barn as a stage and Aunt Maggie has a trunk of old costumes in the attic.” I think it turned out great. Amazing what you can accomplish with a good idea and a few talented people. Imagine what we could do with a larger budget.
Great work, Marty (and Deb and Preston!). That was awesome!
