Scholarship Fundraising Video

The Jethsuby Scholarship Fund at the Catholic Foundation provides Hispanic students the necessary resources to obtain a Catholic education.  

 Kirk Jarvis has volunteered his time and resources for several fund-raising events to benefit The Jethsuby Fund, including a Son by Four concert at the Garland Event Center and a one-man show, Mi Cristo Roto, by renowned actor, Alberto Mayagoitia, at the Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe in downtown Dallas.  He also produced a short video to help promote interest in the Scholarship Fund.

Kirk wrote the script, edited the original text tracks and music in Premiere Pro, and shared files with Chad Kopec of Focal Point Media, for final text and formatting.

Gift of Memories for T.G.I. Friday's

T.G.I. Friday’s 40^th Birthday

We saw T.G.I. Friday’s give wonderful gifts to their attendees at the six Global Leadership Conferences we had produced.  For their 40^th Birthday Celebration, we suggested a gift book, full of birthday memorabilia and featuring photographs of the General Managers of company-owned restaurants and from T.G.I. Friday’s around the world.

TSA Productions 
Partner and 

Executive Producer, 
Kirk Jarvis, 

with Creative Director,  

Scott Lumley, developed some preliminary creative suggestions and presented the idea to the T.G.I. Friday’s team.  They loved it.  Together, we developed additional content and design ideas.

The result is an award-winning book.

Production Notes:

Kirk and his team developed a name-and-photo tracking method and then shot all the General Managers during summer GM conferences.   

Photographer, J.D. Cantu shot these and all the additional original photographs in the book.

A collection and tracking method for the international photographs was put in place and images were solicited from T.G.I. Friday’s around the world.  Photographs were received, tracked, copied and shared by TSA Productions.

Complete art production and pre-print preparation was the work of Designer, Steve VanGelder.   

Step-by-step client approvals and the diligent production and press checks were handled by Kirk and the TSA team .

The cover idea came from Judy Dodson at T.G.I. Friday’s.  They are photographs of a T.G.I. Friday’s door handles.

The book is printed in 5-colors – 2 sided, with a 4-side bleed.  The 5^th color is a spot varnish, highlighting all the photographs and specific design accents.

Opening Video – Franchise Group General Session

Opening Video 
Franchise Group General Session

The Objective: 

Open the Franchise General Session of La Quinta Inns and Suites’ Annual International Conference with a strong “good choice” message in a time of economic downturn.  Introduce a “part of a winning team” feel to the Session.

Directives:

Use existing still and video images (no original media production).  Use the limited number of existing video interviews with Special People.  Find a way to include the rest of the Special People.  Develop a script that supports the message.  Keep it visually interesting.  Finish fast.  Keep it inexpensive.

Production Notes:

Of the dozen Special people, only four interviews had been shot.  Additional video interviews would have required a multi-day shoot with travel.  Phone interviews were conducted instead, giving the complete group an opportunity to have a voice in the message.

Name graphics were enhanced with brand colors.

Section graphics provided the corporate message without narration.

Online Educational Video

The Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance is dedicated to finding a cure for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) while improving the lives of those affected.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder that causes non-malignant tumors to form in many different organs, primarily in the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin and lungs. The aspects of TSC that most strongly impact quality of life are generally associated with the brain: seizures, developmental delay, intellectual disability and autism. However, many people with TSC are living independent, healthy lives and enjoying challenging professions such as doctors, lawyers, educators and researchers.  The incidence and severity of the various aspects of TSC can vary widely between individuals—even between identical twins.

The Objective: 

Explain tuberous sclerosis complex in Spanish, using a Spanish-speaking authority on the subject.  Complete the video in HD as well as in formatting appropriate for the web.

Directives:

Use the Director of Pediatric Neurology at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, Mauricio Delgado, M.D., as the on-camera authority.   Write the script outline for translation.  Shoot video, as needed, to illustrate the patient, family and clinical components of the video.

Production Notes:

Dr. Delgado enabled original video of patients, families and clinical procedures at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital.  The hospital also allowed us to tape narration sequences in their public area.

The Media Department of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children shared video and still resources.

The TS Alliance shared images of local TS Alliance Support Groups

A well-known Spanish-speaking actor, Alberto Mayagoitia, contributed his time for the on-camera narration of the video.

The video has been available on the TS Alliance web site since completion.

Announcement Video - Conference General Session

La Quinta Inns and Suites

The Objective: 

Find a creative way to make a Special Announcement during a speech in the Opening General Session of La Quinta Inns and Suites’ International Conference.  Use an approach that is in-tune with the Presenter’s tastes as well as the company’s style and objectives. 

Directives:

Explain the Special Announcement.  Make it fun and memorable.  Segue out of and back into the Presenter’s speech. 

Production Notes:

Company associates pitched in to help, keeping costs down.  IT Department employees created the Dream Device and appear in the TV. 

Chief Operating Officer and Chief Franchise Officer set up the video on-stage, encouraging the Presenter to drink some water in the middle of the speech.  When he fell back, drugged, the video rolled.

At the conclusion, the Presenter returns to the stage wearing the attire from the end of the video.
