Multimedia Anniversary Movie - This is Your Life, Tom Trapp --
20 Years of Excellence

Every year Tom Trapp, owner of Bear Brook Design, shows the employees and clients how much he cares and has a rather large Holiday Gift campaign (some of which have won design excellence awards). And every year, the employees try to give something back to the owner of this rather enlightened, if small, design firm in Orange County, NY.

2004, the 20th anniversary of the company, was a little different -- a more formal holiday dinner, bigger gifts than usual, and the employees wanted to top all the other years of giving something back.

The employees conspired and decided to spring a movie of collected contributions of current and past clients, and blurbs from the staff, and spring it on the owner. Most especially, they wanted stories.

I recorded extensive portions of the staff audio and video clips, and performed all integrative post-production tasks for the entire stock of contributions for this 35 minute video celebrating Bear Brook Design, composed in secrecy to surprise Tom Trapp, President of the company.

Several contributions from clients at the top end of the media industry (ABC, Interep) were finished pieces in themselves and needed to be incorporated with fades, background music, volume levels, etc.
