Jackie’s television debut and my first produced commercial!

I work for a great marketing company called Rhapsody5 which is based locally in Salt Lake City, UT.  They hired me as a Web Designer, but my job has now extended to do print work, web development and now video.  It has been a lot of fun branching out to new opportunities and avenues.  The best part is, Jackie sometimes gets to be there right next to me!

Dave, my boss, approached me about a commercial that

Jackie live on Good Things Utah.  You can see her up there, and on the tv monitor to the left.

would be airing on ABC channel 4 and KSL channel 5.  At first we planned to create it in Flash, but then realized it would be even better to film it.  The only problem was, we didn’t have any equipment besides our video camera we didn’t have a studio to shoot it in.  We had a week to make it so we rushed to get it done. Dave purchased Final Cut Pro (video editing software), a boom microphone, lights, paint (for the blue screen) and had walls built for a studio.

Dave volunteered Jackie to be the actress, since she has been the one to do the voice over work for us for our Flash introductory videos on the website.  The day she showed up we started filming right away.  We got everything we needed and I started editing it immediately.  It was a miracle it all came together in the time we had to do it in.

The next week, we were to be airing the commercial AND Jackie was to go on “Good Things Utah” live on

ABC 4 to talk about Rhapsody5 Rewards.  She did a GREAT job for both.

It was a busy but very fun week!  Below is the commercial that was aired (still airing the rest of January) and the live segment of Jackie.
