just got this from a producer i did a cool job for last year:

Quote:
The Pentagon Channel will air the film "Military Intelligence: The Tradition Continues" on Thursday, 15 August at the times below.
This film was produced last Fall/Winter under the technical direction of the USAICoE History Office as a part of the 2012 25/50 Commemoration events.

0300 ET
0700 ET
1100 ET
1500 ET
1900 ET
2300 ET



The Pentagon Channel


it was only supposed to be a training video for the MI folks at fort huachuca --- i think it's cool that it's getting a wider audience --- but do you think i can get some more washingtons from obama?

Guess I'd better dust off the Betamax.

Will they send you another check to cover a "wider audience" ?

funny story - my initial contact with the client was a major and was very difficult - no communication for several weeks until i received an email from a 3-star general (well, his office) who was taking over. i eventually learned the general said the major had made a "soup-sandwich" out of this project & he was taking it over himself. very efficient guy - project was completed super-fast. but he doesn't seem much like the negotiating type.

The usage is still in-house. They've simply made it available to a wider audience. It's limited streaming, after all.

I'd express pleasure that they're happy with your work, and eagerness to work with them on future projects.

Congrats. It's a good thing. Smile

For some reason, the "soup-sandwich" thing has given me the giggles Laugh

Congrats on the gig and the wider exposure...that's awesome!

soup sandwich...

An expression of military origin, calling to mind a picture of soup being poured over bread. Someone or something that is not as it should be; something disorganized or unfinished.

Shouldn't be a problem Todd. Simply let the government know that you have been emotionally damaged by this and now find it impossible to concentrate or produce work because of it.

Then...simply sit back and wait for the..."disability" checks to start rolling in.
