"Wow - the short films by David Decker are so great.
I just watched the second one, with both of you
talking, and I love it. I'm so pleased at these, and
other, new developments...."
and
Thank you! Once again you've created a wonderful tool
for us to use as we reach beyond pre-existing contacts.
Last Friday we hung an exhibit atWaggener Edstromand I
told a woman there who is involved in supporting employee
connections with causes in the community about your first
video. Her reply was, "this is a fabulous video
which I shared with employees today."

Case Study: Zimbabwe Artists Project - ZAP
50Films Program: #21
Audience: Web-based, with philanthropic
and art interests, especially African art from Zimbabwe.
Goal: The goal of this program is to
increase visibility of the Zimbabwe Artists Project or ZAP,
which is a small (3 person staff) non-profit. Their history
is moving, and speaks to my heart. I offered to produce a
short program to help promote their efforts of finding
markets for this artwork, as well as providing a quick
overview of how ZAP started, who they serve, and their
mission.
Procedure: This program was shot
documentary style in HD in a couple hours. ZAP generously
supplied images which we were able to integrate to support
the storytelling. The program was delivered on the web, and
will also be developed to DVD where the program can be
played for presentations, or played on a loop for show
installations and other occasions.
Case Study: Zimbabwe Artists Project - ZAP
- The Art and Artists
50Films Program: #22
Audience: Web-based, with philanthropic
and art interests, especially African art from Zimbabwe.
Goal: The goal of this program is to
increase the understanding of who the ZAP artists are, and
showcase their art, and introduce ways for the audience to
purchase the art.
Procedure: This program was leveraged from
footage shot for the ZAP overview program. I asked a few
questions regarding the art and artists with the intention
of producing this program. This is an example of how to
streamline production to make it as cost-effective as
possible, and to get the most ROI.
