I wanted to make the most of the fact that Jon Puddle was back in town, so I came up with a plot that would involve the whole IT team. I like the storyline, and particularly the impression given that Jon has come simply to sort out Jon Long's problem with his Mac. I had a great sequence with Pudd getting out of bed, and then a map with dots showing his progress across the Atlantic in the style of Indiana Jones, but the video was too long, and that scene ended up getting cut.

The video also features a guest appearance from Ken Lyons. Ken used to work in IT at TACF a long time ago, and was back in town at the same time. I decided to just put him in there, and see who noticed. A nice addition, I think.

After some problems with lighting in previous weeks, mainly at the TACF Airport campus, I decided to brighten this video post filming, but it didn't really work. I haven't used that function in Final Cut since.
