I'll be Your Mouthpiece
Yesterday I worked on another industrial video project with a production team I've come to know. We have a nice professional relationship now which has resulted in fun times on set and a semi-consistent flow of work for me. What made yesterday's green screen work different from previous work was the type of role I had been given. Yes, I was still acting. Yes, I still had helmet-hair. Yes, I was still playing a character. Yes, I still had slightly stilted dialogue to deliver for instructional purposes. But, in this case I was not acting opposite another actor. Rather, I was delivering the copy directly to the end user via the camera lens, in effect making me a spokesperson. I have done such work once before, recording six informational videos for a national computer and IT service provider which shall remain nameless. It was fun to graduate to this type of service for the client and to learn--after the fact--that they were very pleased with my work. (It was also fun to learn the producer used to be in a band called The Young Rationals. But, shh! Don't tell!)
