Nice "Voices" video package by Bert

->> I really enjoyed Bert's Voices video with responses from quite a few A-list actors including Academy Award winners Anthony Hopkins and Hillary Swank. Bert and JY went through a lot to get these interviews and USAT's Director of Video Steve Elfers did a really nice job on the edit--so nice you don't even notice it.

All the actors were asked one simple question: "what gives you confidence?"

I'll leave the rest of the details out in case Bert wants to chime in with some of the technology, technique, and PR war stories.

->> Thanks Garrett ...and Myung!

I think that is the best part of that particular "Voices" feature...the reaction, facial expressions and the range of answers ... was the key.

To the brief reply of Sir Anthony Hopkins to the animated response by director Danny Boyle...it was fun to shoot (logistics nightmares aside)!

->> That's what I thought also, Robert. I'm assuming they had no idea what kind of question they'd be asked? I think if they had canned responses waiting, it would have turned out very blah, but the slight personal touch of having to stop and think about it made a big difference. Thanks for sharing.
I did notice several lighting variations and ambient noises from clip to clip. Did more than one person record them?
