Boeing-Make a Wish Foundation "Captain For A Day"

This is a touching video of a 16 year olds wish to fly a commercial jet-liner. His wish comes true when The Boeing Co. and The Make A Wish Foundation put him in the cockpit of an MD-11 simulator. There he is faced with a barrage of situations, from avoiding a mid-air collision to dealing with an engine fire.

I was contracted to edit several hours of raw footage down to 15 minutes. The goal was to deliver a video that captured this once in a lifetime event for the boy and the family. This video has been edited down to 7 minutes from the original 15 minute program.

My role in this production was creative director, editor, graphics, music and audio sweetening.
