Gene Harris -- Current and Recent Projects
Seems like nearly everything has been Department of Defense related lately ...
GENERAL DYNAMICS - Metro Productions asked me to script a video for their client General Dynamics C4 Systems about the U.S. Army's Threat Systems Management Office, or TSMO. All systems developed for the Department of Defense must be tested against all sorts of threats before being fielded for use by warfighters, and that's what the TSMO does: it provides validated operational testing through an Integrated Threat Force that truly represents enemy capabilities. The video includes test participants and officials (some played by actors), original footage shot at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama and in Metro's studio, stock footage, and high-end graphics and animations.
U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE - Metro also asked me back for a fourth consecutive year to be part of their media team that supports the annual Strategic Decision-Making Exercise at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The SDME is a 6-day wargaming and decision-making capstone exercise for upper-level U.S. military officers. Metro, along with Army reservists who act as broadcast news reporters, produces two-a-day "news" broadcasts that depict the crisis "events" that are happening all over the world during the exercise. Metro's team supervises the reporters, giving them editorial support and training in every aspect of their jobs.
NAVY MEDICINE SUPPORT COMMAND - Studio Center client Navy Medicine Support Command, whom I'd already written several scripts for, came to me for another one, this one an informational and recruiting video about becoming a Navy Undersea Medical Officer, or UMO. The script starts with a brief intro about the scope of the UMO field and the training required, and then moves into the diversity of assignments available. I took background information about six featured types of UMO assignment, and scripted six short segments narrated by real UMOs as they described what their jobs were like.
Studio Center has also asked me to write scripts for corporate clients WASHINGTON GAS, AIG ADVISOR GROUP, VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA UNIVERSITY, and OWENS & MINOR.
DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY - New client Kudzu Productions in Huntsville, Alabama, called on me to script twelve 60-second public service announcements for the Defense Media Activity. These were continuations of their "Off the Beaten Path" and "American Treasure" series of PSAs featuring interesting locales, restaurants, and attractions that military personnel might want to visit while on leave. This time the attractions were centered in the Birmingham, Alabama and Memphis, Tennessee areas, and included places such as the Bear Bryant Museum, the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, the Hermitage (home of Andrew Jackson), and the famous Bluebird Cafe in Memphis.
U.S. ARMY COMBAT READINESS/SAFETY CENTER - Kudzu also brought me in as scriptwriter for the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center's 2011 Fall-Winter Safety campaign. The client wanted fourteen new 30-second spots dealing with off-duty safety in areas such as driving, skiing, hunting, and holiday celebrations. They told us, "no middle-of-the-road stuff," so we developed a lot of concepts that featured folks such as The Grim Reaper, The World's Greatest Stuntman, and a Freudian pychiatrist. Lots of fun!
More to come ... including projects for US. ARMY TRAINING AND DOCTRINE COMMAND, and ORION (Overlay Regional InterOperability Network) ...
