• Even Interthinx’s competitors and other vendors are being supportive. Here’s a comment from Karen Pawlowski at US Mortgage:
“…wanted to pass along some kudos re: the movie and especially the DVD training chapters from our trainer at The Prieston Group. She says she loves the approach that was taken and the way that the training chapters specifically reference the exact film footage for great impact. I’m with her on that!”
• This came in from Sovereign Bank: “I just watched your FSI movie today. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. It was both full of good fraud knowledge and I laughed my head off, too. Very fun and creative! It was worth every dime your company spent and I look forward to sharing it with my underwriting staff as a training tool. Who is the Air Supply fan there?”

No one said it would be easy: Radar was tasked with capturing more than 60 interviews in less than four hours for Jafra Cosmetics International. Women from all over the world (Mexico, U.S., Switzerland, Italy, etc…) were asked the same question, “How has Jafra changed your life?” The answers (and stories) were nothing short of emotional, funny and inspiring. Stewart Redwine, Drew Lucas, Matthew Warren and Moses Sparks served as director of photography, audio, producer and photographer respectively. Taping took place at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and was captured using the Panasonic SDX900 (DVCPRO50) from PGR.
