Letter to Cindy from Panelist

“…You were so important to the process, and I just appreciate you very much. You are the caliber of professional that I always hope to work with (but it doesn't always work out that way!). It was so important to me that you are both patient and cheerful, willing to work hard, put in long hours, take time for every detail, and you kept encouraging all of us. Your knack for casting is a real treasure, too. I don't now how you do it, but don't change a thing!

Your success is assured, and I will say 'I knew her when...'

Thanks for the opportunity of working on the project. Call on me anytime.…”

Warmly,

Documentary Receives Two National Awards

Dallas, TX - The one-hour documentary The Solar Challenge, co-produced by WPI Productions Inc. and David Seay Productions, was recently honored with an Apple Award sponsored by the National Education Media Network. Director of Photography and Co-Producer, Bruce Warner was also honored with a National Videographer ”Award of Distinction” for the quality, beauty & composition of the footage, shot on location throughout cities and towns from Dallas to San Antonio, Texas.

The production crew followed six different teams of high school students who designed, built and raced their solar powered vehicles. “Documenting six different teams, all traveling at different speeds, or not traveling at all, was extremely challenging” said David Seay. “When teams stopped at designated check points we grabbed sound bites and comments from the students, but once they hit the road the real fun began. Racing through the hill country of south Texas we struggled with first finding one of the teams then trying to decided how to shoot quality visuals of a moving vehicle, often on two lane roads,” commented Co-Producer Cindy DePierri.

Director of Photography, Bruce Warner explains that the safest approach for the crew and foremost safety for the students was to race ahead, quickly, scout a good vantage point and wait. “We were lucky to have some stretches of road where were could shoot a side by side view of the car and this made for some of the most compelling visuals.” The producers are currently in negotiation for distribution of The Solar Challenge.

Letter to Cindy from Panelist

“Since I too am at times very ”anal,” I felt that I should write and thank you for your patience and efforts in [helping] get a rebel into reasonably good shape for the recent satellite broadcast. I haven't yet reviewed the tape, but I did get a sense during the broadcast that things were coming together quite nicely and obviously that is due in no small part to the efforts of you, Charles and the others. I certainly enjoyed myself and learned a lot from the whole experience and your efforts. I particularly wanted to congratulate you on running a very friendly and helpful crew, and a group that seemed to be ego free and anxious to help as much as possible to ensure the success of the broadcast. Although the people probably came from various and sundry separate companies, they were certainly functioning as a team from the very beginning.

I hope that I have a chance to work with you in the future and I will certainly be thinking of you as I see the Cannes Film Festival next year.”

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely,

Ian V. Jones, MD
