SMR Automotive Photo & Video Shoots. It was a real challenge to pull this off. The marketing manager and video production partner were in Germany. The literature production team was in India. And the assignment took us to two locations in the USA and one in Mexico. We managed the video and still photo teams and implemented a shooting script we developed after a walk-thru in the USA. Then we sent the same crew to Mexico. At the last minute, we were also asked to do aerial photography.

 

GKN Web Site. The product managers and marketing person were in Michigan, the marketing VP in Germany, the IT people in the UK and another team member in Israel. It took only seven months to produce an 80-page web site, complete with Flash animations. The team communicated by email, conference calls and a beta site where updates were posted weekly.

 

MSC China Exhibit. Ten days "womb" to "tomb". The marketing person was in China and the product team in Michigan. No photos available, no documentation. Just an exhibit space at a Shanghai show that had to be filled. We photographed difficult products, wrote the narrative, designed exhibit panels, printed eveything, shipped it, got it through customs and made the deadline with one day to spare.
