NWA Roller Girls

NWA Roller Girls - click here to view videoThough the promo for this sweeps story barely ran, this is a fun little piece about a different kind of full-contact sport. There wasn’t a lot of footage to go on, and I was given nothing but nat sound, but it still turned out to be a pretty energetic spot. The “spin/blur” transition between shots is neat, even if the theme from Batman was playing in the back of my head everytime I saw it.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer

Inflammatory Breast Cancer - click here to view videoWith this spot, I had a specific look in mind, namely all those high-tech medical spots that ABC produces for its own news shows like 20/20. Really, footage-wise, we were a bit poor on this one since the story was still being shot - we’ve had that breast cancer animation and those same two shots of doctors looking at mammograms for years now - though I tried to disguise that fact by dropping some animated elements in there (which were actually distributed by ABC to their affiliates for use in their initial 2003 coverage of the Iraq war). I was fairly pleased with how this one turned out.

2006 Election POP

2006 Election POP - click here to view videoA wrap-up of our fairly extensive coverage of the 2006 election, which covered at least a couple hundred races, this is a fairly standard POP spot except for the fact that it was rolled out before everyone even left the building. (The other stations in the market didn’t have a POP on the air until around lunchtime the next day, while ours had been running all morning; I had prepared most of the graphic and animation elements the night before.) All of our talent that was out in the field shows up, along with the two Arkansas gubernatorial candidates and quite possibly the kitchen sink.
