----------------------------
This video clip is an introduction to a DVD presentation on Lee County Schools in Alabama. This project is a perfect example of a wonderful collaborative effort between myself, the crew and superintendent John Painter and his Lee County Schools PR representative Cindy Irvin. As a filmmaker, I cannot recall a more professional and creative combination. I had first visited and filmed in the Lee County Schools a years before I worked on this particular DVD project. At that time, I was developing a DVD on INTERNET2 to showcase Auburn University's role in bringing Internet2 to a county school system. It was during that production that not only myself, but the entire crew, were impressed with the atmosphere in the school system. It was just a most positive feeling we received from the students, the teaches, and adminstrators. At one point even, we were approached by one of the janitors, off the cuff. He wanted to share his views about the school system and about the young people he noticed everyday. They really impressed him and he wanted us to know.

We filmed the school system segments for the major DVD presentation over a period of an entire school year in order to, really get a feel for it's heartbeat and to be able visit and film the many classes and events expected.

We all looked forward anytime we had a shoot that would take us into the school campuses. What a unqiue combination of talent, professionalism, and client's desire to give the production the time I felt we needed. Toward the end, when I requested a couple of more months of time for the final editing, my request was honored with no frustration on the part of Mr. Painter nor Mrs. Irvin. I am only transferring the first ten minutes here. Information for the full DVD follows:
