My Dad

All of the school projects I have to do end up being about the troops or veterans. As one of my professors says, "that's where your passion is" and he's right. I just can't seem to think of much else I want to work with.

We had to do a music video for this assignment. The reports about children of fallen soldiers always got to me. I couldn't think of any other song I want to work with than Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross.

Getting someone to act in this was tricky. The man I used as the "Dad" had dread locks down to his waist and he had to tuck them up. I couldn't find anyone active military on short notice. I had to reshoot the grown up "son" and found another student in the lab to fill in. Glad I found him. All in all this project proved that people do care about our men and women in the military. Once they found out what the project was, they were willing to do anything to pull it off. Glad they did!
