The function of a “One-Man-Band” (sometimes) has it’s benefits!

I just wrapped up a new project with recording artist John Garrett (front man for 24HR Watch).  John made this project such a joy to work on – he was so awesome to work with, flexible, and was able to re-take a line near verbatim.  But I don’t know that it would have gone down so easy if I was a bloated media company! (If you own a bloated media company – I’m kind of sorry, but not really!)

I received a call from John (who’s an old friend of mine – he was on a lighting crew that I was the LD for the ballet company.)  We met there and then he started to attend the same church that I was very active at.  When I received the call I could immediately scene the urgency in his voice asking if I’d be able to shoot his EPK, but it needed to be done – yesterday.  I think that most clients face projects like this (in a crisis mode) but in John’s case – it really was a genuine deal.  He’s needed to have one done, and a new opportunity opened and he needed it in hand ASAP!
