MAKING A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
By Blog MasterPosted: 10/27/2021
The amazing team at Pasadena Media helped our volunteers produce a free one-minute Public Service Announcement for Pasadena Village!
After Pasadena Village was featured in the Business 4 Business Hot Seat in June, the amazing community volunteer Cindy Bengtson connected Katie Brandon with George Falardeau, Aaron Wheeler, and Kevin Bruce at Pasadena Media. Kevin, their Studio Coordinator, led Karen Bagnard, Fritzie Culick, Paula Rao, Valerie Jones, and Katie through the process of crafting the short video.
After wordsmithing the script, gathering photos, and listening to hours of music to select the right mood, Valerie and Katie were able to visit the studio where the magic happens and see the recording in action. Kevin edited and re-edited, and maybe edited again to get to the finished product. Then, the ever ready volunteer Dave Folz uploaded it to our new YouTube Channel.
Thank you to all who were involved! We hope you enjoy watching it.
