Meet Dan Douglas, founder of Plug Video Productions. His interest in making movies began early. At fourteen he was consumed (maybe even obsessed) with recording family events using a VHS camera and a hip-mounted VCR and battery pack. On a nice summer day you wouldn’t find him outside playing, like other kids. Douglas was inside editing video footage - and today we have Plug Video Productions.

Meet Stephen Goldberg, one of the founding partners of MemoriesFX, a full service production facility specializing in corporate and personal video services. Recently, MemoriesFX was completing a project producing a corporate video for tradeshow and marketing use. The usual editor was consumed by another project so Goldberg, whose primary role is in sales and production (not editing), needed to step-in as the editor. This project needed to be completed and delivered to the client by the trade show date which was fast approaching.

The lessons he learned in the construction business have not been lost in his career move, however. As a general contractor, Rogers learned some valuable lessons but none more so than this:
“A good carpenter can build anything with a dull chisel and a rock; a bad one can ruin a job with a truckload of tools.”
