VTA also provided production assistance and post-production facilities to Icarus Productions for "Atlanta Celebrates Picasso," a 30 minute special on the Spanish painter's career and the exhibition of his work at Atlanta's High Museum of Art. The show will air on CNBC and will be sponsored by Philip Morris Companies. Atlanta based Icarus Productions posted the show at VTA with VTA's in-house Producer Pat Wulff. VTA also stepped in for the shoot, calling in Jerry Wilson of 4th Street Productions, as Director/Cameraman and providing video equipment. After the shoot, Wulff and Icarus Producer Mary Aycox previewed over 15 hours of footage prior to taking the project into VTA's Avid 8000 suite for edit with Freelance Editor David Miles. Transition elements and opening and closing graphics were created by VTA's Graphic Artists Joel Bagley and Frank Muller, using the DFX Composiun system and Matador Paint, coupled with VTA's intranet system of image sharing. The video was concepted by Creative Director Alan Miller, produced by Aycox, and hosted by Executive Producer Monica Suraci-Miller, all of Icarus Productions.

VTA also just completed "Echoes of Captivity", a documentary by Atlanta Freelance Writer/Producer Polly Wiester. The documentary claims that no matter what war a person was a POW in, the conditions, pain, and humiliation are the same. It encompasses the history of American POWs from the Revolutionary War through the Persian Gulf War. The National Park Service commissioned "Echoes," and the video will play as an introduction to the National Prisoner of War Museum that was dedicated April 9th at the Andersonville National Historic Site park in central Georgia. Andersonville was a Confederate prison camp during the Civil War. The documentary, narrated by retired General Colin Powell, was edited into two versions by Avid Editor Jennifer Kearns, of The Chopping Block and VTA On-Line Editor Bob Castro. A 45 minute program for future broadcast use in schools, available in the museum's shop, was made as well as the 30 minute version that will play at the park. Interviews with more than 40 POW's included James Stockdale, Ross Perot's running mate in 1992; Pete Peterson, U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam; the last surviving World War I POW; and two female American POWs. It took over four years to complete. Weister explains that since most of the work was pro bono, she needed to work on other jobs intermittently. The breaks, however, were welcomed due to the high intensity of emotion involved in the project. The POWs who helped with the project were very pleased with the project. Weister reports, "It's very touching to watch them as they're viewing it, they watch, they nod, they whisper to themselves, 'Yeah, that's just how it was.' I'm so glad they feel I've done them justice."
