When asked to spice up the promotional video for the State of Ohio and Columbus Ohio to help bring people to a large annual show I said……”Baby…It’s SHOWTIME!”

With a VERY tight time frame (one week from start to finish – seriously) I needed to call in some people I could trust. Enter John Page of Page Tech LTD – as my Director and Columbus Ohio production company. Working with Experience Columbus was wonderful! They gave me the seven places they wanted to highlight and literally three days later we had the entire project shot and ready to go to editing. Hats off to the editing team who literally worked around the clock to make 9 hours of tape and b-role down to the 10 minutes you now see.

Funnest part: Having the “Civit” at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium climb from the caretaker to my shoulders looking for more banana,. SHARP CLAWS – but very funny.

Toughest Part: Wearing the floral apron at the Gahanna Herb Center and having to stare into the sun on multiple occasions as we shot this so quick and didn’t have budget for a full crew (meaning no one to hold that big silver thing you see to block the sun for me…it’s the little things huh?)

What I learned: (1) The we have two of the top rated attractions in the country – Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and COSI. Both are awesome! (2) How cool the Ohio Historical Center is (3) That I can make some GREAT tea!

Hope you enjoy the brief film and you get a nice laugh from it!
