KATRINA VICTIMS CHARITY DVD

[Shane Adams]

This idea was a hit last year and produced thousands of dollars towards the tsunami relief effort a year ago. A sequel was briefly mulled over earlier this year but never got off the ground. I think we have a pretty damn good reason to re-think this idea. I don't know about video production, but I'm guessing there will be a long line of chasers (including me) who would be willing to donate 2005 video for the project.

If anyone's interested and makes this happen, I'm in.

 

[Darin Brunin]

I would be willing to do whatever I can to help out.

 

[Amos Magliocco]

Great idea. I'd contribute anything of mine from the last two years.

 

[nickgrillo]

I'd definitely be interested in helping out with this...

I have shot >20hrs of video from late April thru late June this year. Therefore, I have a wide variety of different material I could donate to this production. BTW If nobody wants to do the actual production itself, I'm all in for doing it.

Any others?

Awesome Idea!!! I don't have footage, but I'd buy one of those tapes!

 

[nickgrillo]

Well, as far as I know, there is about 4 other chasers willing to donate... This includes myself, Amos, Darin and GarryW.

I'm all in for doing the actual production.

 

[Shane Adams]

I may have a producer, waiting on a reply. I'll keep you guys posted.

 

[Aaron Kennedy]

If you would like to lend a hand, I would suggest writing up a paragraph with what you can provide. This will make things easier for the organizers. With that, I've stickied it.

ill buy it! Sounds like a fantastic idea.

 

[Robert Edmonds]

I can give a few minutes of some video I have, since that's all I really have. It'll be up on the internet, I hope, in a few days. Anyhow any way I can help...

 

[Greg Stumpf]

I'll have to talk with Jim LaDue about this again! Last week, we thought the idea was pretty much dead due to lack of real motivation, but Katrina certainly changes that landscape again.

We had rounded up about 75% of the participants to produce a "Storms of 2005" DVD, but were still awaiting some help with some of the chapters to proceed - including Shane and Mickey for a Apr 21 chapter. You guys in? We were also missing a producer/volunteer to take on the Jun 7 chapter. We already had volunteers for the other major chapters (Mar 21, Apr 10, May 12, June 4, June 5, June 9, June 11, June 12), but not sure at the moment of these folks are still "in".

Please PM me if you are interested in helping co-produce the project. Once we get a sizeable number of folks to help produce, then we will send out a call for video submissions.

BTW - Walt Lyons, the AMS President, is behind this project and is willing to showcase the DVD during on of the major "electronic theatre" segments at the 2006 AMS Annual Meeting.

I haven't talked about this to my chase partner Doren Berge, but I'd bet the farm that he'd be willing to donate some of our stuff. Please keep my name on hand and lemme know if and when Doren and I can help.
From other S.T. threads, I understand that Simon and some of his crew of the Stormgasm team have gotten some incredible stuff from down there. Those fellas always have wild video action, and I always buy their dvds when they come out. You might want to contact him / them about your plans as well.
My bud Warren Faidley has been down there since before Katrina made landfall...and he's still down there. He's still down ther according to a two-day old email e last sent me. Said quote "insane damage". He'd also be one to contact on this project too.
Best of luck with this. Great idea, gentlemen. Joel Ewing

I don't think anyone is at the moment. lol. I think Greg was just suggesting to us to, perhaps, consider his and Mr. LaDue's project also. At least that is what I understand. I have offered to help them also, whether or not Shane's idea for the "Storms of 2005" video project works out, which I will do everything in my power to see to it that it does, because I would love to produce it.

I think it is a wonderful idea and sounds like a wonderful project to work on. Both project s, while marketed differently, could raise some extra funds for the hard hit areas and people.

I'd be happy to assist Mick with the April 21 segment production in any way I can, so count me in as well. I know at least a few other chasers have video from that event. Any other chasers who have April 21 SE Kansas tornado video who wish to submit, please PM me.
