The client on this video, Dog Gone Handy, wanted to add a sense of fun and humor to his video. So, he had Marietta Video Productions get video of one of his associate’s dogs, Sam. The dog was to be the narrator. But, on the day of the shoot, the pooch was really feeling down. We could only get a few shots of him. In fact, by the we got back and looked at all the video footage, we found only a few seconds of usable footage.
In an awful twist of fate, Sam died the night after the shoot. It was so sad. And, it certainly ruled out any chance of getting more footage. So, we worked with what we had.
Telling the story from Sam’s point of view was challenging, but it was fun. The bright side of the story is that now all the employees get the chance to see Sam again in their video.
