A Gift Of Life

Find out more about this event here.

I know Jaywalk back from my army days and I never really figured him out to be so passionate about these things. 😛 So I guess this must be really important to him…

If you haven’t done anything charitable all year long, you might wanna start with this one and start the yuletide cheer early. 😀

Not yet on national television anyways, and perhaps not anytime soon as well.

Some of you may recall I actually did an ad last year, which, to date, has never seen the light of day. I called up the production company a couple of weeks ago to see if I can get a copy of the ad and they were kind enough to give it to me yesterday.

Alex was also kind enough to let me view the finished ads off his MacBook. They have actually made three versions; a one minute footage with sound effects, the same one minute version with just music and no sound effects and the final product – a condensed twenty second version.

But I guess one thing good about the condensed version is that it didn’t show as many embarrassing scenes of me humping the office cubicle divider as the full version. 😛
