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!)
