Special Thanks and Credits for the "D" Scene


Here's the part where I gush over the amazing talent and contributions of all involved. So sit back, take it all in and by all means, get these people WORK! They sooooo deserve it.

Devon V. Collins
Devon shot, edited and directed the "D" Scene and did it ALL in one day. Devon was the master mind behind the shot where Jeff and I have the conversation in front of the huge white doily. When he made that suggestion I think I jumped! I was so excited. It's that type of creativity that Devon brings to a shoot. He lit it beautifully, and worked around the tremendous amount of street noise. I guess that means he did lighting and sound too, sheesh! If you would like to hire Devon and I cannot imagine why you wouldn't, contact him via email at devon@stimulifilm.com. Clearly he can wear many hats and you'd be lucky to have him wearing any hat on your shoot!

Jeffery Blanchard
Jeff played Daniel, a role that was written for and by Albert Brooks originally. To say Jeff had big shoes to fill is an understatement. Albert Brooks is a comic genius so of course there was only one choice, Jeff. He is just that. He can be heard on the Scott and Jeff show in the morning on WNCX. He can be seen live all over town at events for the station and doing his hilarious stand up comedy. If you'd like to hire Jeff, email him at jeffblanchardlive@gmail.com or facebook him. He can be reached and if he is, you won't be sorry but your sides might hurt from laughing so hard. There, I warned you.

Walleye Gallery
The Walleye Gallery was the location for our shoot. As perfect as it was, this was not our original location. At the last minute the prior spot was no longer available and I called my friend, Steve Warner. Steve made some late night calls to his partners and got us in for the perfect backdrop to our scene. Of course, I don't have to tell you how exquisite the location was, you can see that for yourself in the video. I am so grateful to the Gallery for welcoming us on such short notice, and to Steve for rearranging his day just to open the doors and make our shoot a success! To learn more about them go to http://www.walleyegallery.com. The art is even more beautiful in person and is a must see!

Web Designer
Terri Negron is so much more than a web designer. She posts all of my videos everywhere and makes sure they link back to my youtube channel so the hits are counted. She looks at my every blog post and puts adorable pictures where they fit with my words. She just designed the most beautiful flyer and business card for my project so look around town for those! If you're checking out my blog, website or youtube channel, the beauty is all a la Terri. If you would like to hire her, email her at terri@fengshui5.com She's the best!

Special thanks go to:
Steve Warner for the location and the patience to sit there through the whole shoot!

Wendall Hinkle for working so hard to find me location choices every time!

The Reel Thing for providing administrative supplies and support when I need it.

Becky Ariemma Burrington for not getting mad that I misspelled her name on the credits and for providing us with our heavenly costumes for this shoot. You have to love a girl that will respond to a facebook status and come through like a champ!

Woodie Anderson who provided lights for the B scene and said, keep them for months!

WNCX where "Scott and Jeff in the Morning" show airs on weekdays. Not only did Scott and Jeff mention A to Z with Meryl and Me on the show but they are having me on the program TOMORROW morning! Tune in tomorrow and every day after that at 98.5 WNCX.
