    Hello my bovine friends,

    This may not be the perfect place to post, but it’s an important video for me to share and I’d like to get a wonderful non-profit as much exposure as I possibly can.

    It was an honor for me the creative team at Omni Productions to be involved in producing this fundraising video for the Make-A-Wish organization. It was played at their recent funding dinner/dance gala at the Disney Waldorf Astoria Resort for over 700 guests. Make-A-Wish grants wishes to children with life threatening illnesses.

    A heart felt thank you goes out to Brian Kelly, Zane Townsend, Nick Vetterick, Emily Lescynski and the entire Omni Productions team for all their selfless hard work on this project. The fundraising event was a huge success, but the struggle to fund wishes for deserving children continues.

    If this video moves you (and I pray that it does), I ask that you do two things:

    1) Share or re-post this to all your friends
    2) Consider making a donation to this wonderful organization: https://www.wishcentralfl.wish.org

    Thanks for watching!

    Production is fun – but lets not forget: Nobody ever died on the video table!

    First of all, extremely well done Steve. The pace, the music, the juxtaposition of the backgrounds between mother and daughter, the framing. All very effective. It breaks the rules in a good way. Secondly, very timely for me in that I’ve decided to take my company back to my true passion which is to help non profits further their cause through rich media content. It’s why I started this company and where I need to be. Thanks for the inspiration!!

    Thanks for the kind words Mick!

    We were really pleased with the results as well and the fact that it helped raise over $300K for the Make-A-Wish of Central Florida was really the icing on the cake.

    Best of luck to you in following your passion!
