Cutting Edge Arc Commercial

Jo Leggett, Directed, edited, scriptwriter

LULING, LA – This project was given to us by the Arc of St. Charles, a community center for those with disabilities. These commercials they assigned us were to promote The Arc and what it is they’re trying to accomplish there which is helping people get jobs and get out into the world. My groups commercial was on Cutting Edge Lawn Crew, a service provided by the people of the arc to help cut your grass, or any landscaping things you need help with. For this project it was a bit difficult for many reasons, first off being that we technically only had one day to film, another being on the day of filming not many of the workers felt comfortable being interviewed which we needed them to. Another hard thing was trying to meet all of the clients demands, they were very specific, which had us going back and editing over again. It was a challenge, I feel it helped me try and understand what it takes to work with a real client and get them to see what they were picturing. I overall enjoyed doing the project and am very pleased with how it came out.
