Life Choices in the TUBE
The University of Georgia and the Institute on Human Development and Disability recently commissioned TUBE to provide a full range of editorial services for a series of videos focusing on supported employment for people who have been institutionalized. The
inspirational series, titled "A Life of Choices: Personal Stories Regarding Supported Employment," will be targeted towards job placement agencies, vocational counselors, state agencies and large local corporations' internal human resources departments, as well as families of people with disabilities.
The videos were shot in real time over the course of two years and capture the daily challenges and successes of the handicapped. Beginning with an inspiring story about "Donnie", a young adult who was institutionalized for eleven years of his life, the series will contain three parts, with the second and third focusing on the life stories of Lois Curtis and Elaine Wilson, who won a U.S. Supreme Court case (L.C. & E.W. vs. Olmstead) asserting their right to live in the community. The series is scheduled for completion in June 2004.
Spearheading the project is Rebecca Brightwell, Administrator at UGA, along with Jeani Wooten, Videographer. TUBE is providing all post services including editorial, graphics, music search, VO record, and final mix.
