2. How
long does it take? For
the actual interview taping we suggest blocking off three hours,
usually less. This includes lighting tweaks and everything else
inherent to video production.
For completion of the entire
profile video there is no fixed time because of a host of fluid
factors related to video production. But my goal is three weeks, which
includes editing, posting on the internet, DVD duplication, etc.
3.
What's the cost? It
depends on the option you choose. But it's comparable to a small
wedding video package, usually less. I can't remember the last time I
looked at my wedding photos. I'm not even sure where they are, but I
do hug my child everyday.
Jeff
Gerson, Original Music In an effort to control his
penchant for emptying the cupboards of pots and pans and using spoons
to 'play' them, Jeff Gerson's parents decided music lessons were worth
a try. Subsequent to the first year spent playing the production of a
musical that ran on Broadway for fifteen years, he chose to seek a
graduate degree in music composition. Following its completion, he
spent the next ten years in Los Angeles. There, as a player and/or
composer, he worked on virtually every episode of such shows as Hill
Street Blues, The A Team, Magnum PI, Greatest American Hero, among
numerous others. He also brought his contributions to the record world
(Bruce Hornsby, The Temptations), and feature films (River Rat,
Rhinestone, Loving Couples). Finally accepting the reality that a
position as (extremely) small forward with the Los Angeles Lakers was
not to be, he relocated to the midwest in 1989. Since then, he has
kept busy creating music for programming running on networks such as
VH1, ESPN, TLC, and Telemundo. Additionally, writing music for
advertising, corporate, and broadcast affiliate applications has been
a part of the palette. In his spare time, Gerson continues to
diligently practice the John Wooden hook shot drill.

5. Can I
specify a particular question in my interview? Yes. We also have a collection of existing
questions to which we're always adding. But if there is something
particular about yourself you want brought out in the profile video
please point it out to us before the interview taping so we can be
sure to include it in your finished video.
It's also good to check with
your agency or law firm because sometimes they have certain questions
they would like addressed.
So if you're answering a
question and realize there's a better way of saying something, or you
want to rethink your answer, do so. In fact we encourage it. This is a
relaxed no pressure interview. It can even be fun.
Watch the demonstration video on this web-site
and look at their clothing. If you can't decide, bring two or three
outfits to the interview and change if you feel the need.
