Filming fun

The PSAs were filmed on Wednesday the 23rd as planned. The Civil War (War of Northern Agression, War Between the States, The Late Unpleasantness....) re-enactors we had come in were really funny and really got into the whole thing. Of course, it wouldn't have gotten done without Kay Gregg. She filmed and directed, demonstrating to the re-enactors the they could get loud and rowdy. She even got up on a table to get a money shot. Melissa was great as the peace maker/teacher. A good time was had by all, including our regular genies who were watching the goings-on. It's great to see the Genealogy Center expand into this type of advertising, and I can't wait for it to be up and viewable. I'm still smiling several days later just thinking about how much fun it was.

Of course, I didn't have to act, direct, film or edit, so maybe that's why I had such a delightful experience!

Filming a PSA

We're all excited because, with the help of AFW, we're filming a public service announcement for our Military Symposium in September. We've got some War Between the States reenactors coming in Wednesday night to be our talent, but we're also looking for extras to fill in the background. Here's the invitation we handed out to the local Genie CIG, but anyone, even other staff members can come and join the fun.
