It starts with the idea and if all the elements are executed properly...something good comes out and the end. That's what happened in your case. Idea: Great concept - interview Dave Foxx. Execution element #1 - Get Dave Foxx to agree to an interview. Done? Phew! Execution element #2 - Write good questions to get good answers from Dave Foxx. Execution element #3 - Get good answers from Dave Foxx. Can't control that....need to hope and pray. Done. Execution element #4 - Good production techniques and shooting style. Done Execution element #5 - Good post-production. For a college project - really nice. So everything came together nicely. It might not have felt that way as the producer but you carry the excess baggage of knowing every little thing that went wrong. Your audience (us) know nothing of the minutiae and can only judge the final project. Nice job. Best always, - Peter Hi Nick:

I am floored that you guys took time out of your busy days to watch AND post my video on your sites. I did the video last semester in my junior year and really appreciate all the kind words you guys have given it. If you guys have any tips for a college kid, I'd love to talk to you. Even if you don't, I'd love to just hear your experiences! Best, Nick First off, thank you to Novell and Peter!

This interest in this video has impressed me...people have called me about it and other voice over blogs have linked to it. To me that speaks to the quality of the production (which I think is great) and great content. Dave impresses with his abilities but even more so with his attitude. I hope you'll visit often.

Like you, I def enjoyed the interview, it was very heartwarming. And yes, my favorite was the ending, Dave Foxx always wanting the favor to be returned not on his but on others. I guess this is what really makes the prod god, a god. He is never selfish, he always shares his secrets, and coming from him also who was once at the bottom, makes him Dave Foxx.

I guess he understands how lucky he has it. Best always, - Peter Hi Jodi:

As someone who is extremely interested in getting more involved in radio imaging, it was both educational and heartening. His views on the music industry were really enlightening too (and actually is exactly in line with what I've been hearing for the last several years from the independent musicians I talk with through my songwriting resource website). And very cool last comments from Dave, you're right. :) Thanks so much for sharing that! All the best, -- Jodi What a fantastic video, Peter!
