Hopefully he will respond to my generous offer. I would love to get a video trophy out of this.

Chuks,

First of all, stop it with all of the feel sorry for me talk. I do not feel sorry for anyone that steals. So I do not want to ever hear a single word about how poor you are ever again. I also do not want to hear about how terrible your past was. What I want to hear from you is what you are going to do with your future. What are you going to do TODAY, to make you career and your life better? You are going to never get anywhere dwelling on the past. I did not make my fortune by looking backwards. I am always looking ahead. You need to start doing the same.

As you know Chuks, I run a huge marketing firm. Besides all of the seminars that we organize, we also produce marketing campaigns and materials for our clients which include print and broadcast advertising. I could use another good video production professional. This does not require an education so you have a shot at it. However, it does require a tremendous amount of inventiveness and creativity. It also requires someone that can work independently.

Before my company hires production people, we need to make sure that they have what it takes to do the job. So people usually show us samples of their work. Now, I know that you have never worked in video production before, so I will give you a break this time. If working for me is really something that you want to do, I will give you a short script for a corporate training video that we did about a year ago. I want you to show me that you are able to read and follow a script and produce the least expensive video that you can. If you can do this, I will immediately get you out of Togo and over here in the United States to work with our growing broadcast production unit. It is a high paying, very exciting career that take you wherever you want to go in life.

I do not care about production quality at this point. I am testing you to see that you can read and follow directions. You do not need expensive video equipment. You could even use the video camera from you cell phone if you wanted. I do not care. If you do have access to a video camera, then use that. Then, when you are finished making the short video, you need to email it to me.

These are the conditions Chuks. Do what I ask. Do not write back to me telling me how poor you are again. I do not care about anything other than seeing the kind of work that you can do.

Now, if this is not the kind of work that you want to do, then fine, we will go out separate ways. But if this is the kind of work you want, get started right away and do the best job that you can. This is your chance to prove to me that I should hire you.

Best regards,

Derek

Here is the script that I want him to produce.

I can just imagine the tons of excuses he will send you about not being able to get the equipment for the production.

Maybe a $ 1.000.00 dollar incentive after he gets the video done will make him think twice on the offer Laughing

When you get the video of this I'm gonna download it, clean it up and convert it to DVD format then, upload it back so all can watch it in the confort of their living room. Very Happy

You are absolutely correct about that. And every breathing thing on this planet! Laughing

If successful, will this be the first lad video extraction? If not, it will certainly be entertaining.

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 2:10 pm

No. There have been others. I recall seeing some music video auditions about a year ago.

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 2:19 pm

I cannot wait to see the boy�s video. Nice work there YW.

We have many Hero's. Unfortunately, i'm not even close to the expertise of our Honored members.

If he is successful with his video production, you should have him do a documentary on that weirdo pyramid-builder cult in Nigeria. I think it was TWAT, wasn't it? Twisted Evil

It could be a last minute emergency assignment right before you bring him to the US.

It looks like my lad has taken the bait and is seriously going to take a shot at producing the Krusty Krab employee training video.

Quote:

Dear Derek,

I thank you very much for your mails and the details
which i have read over and over again to understand
really what you are asking me to do.

Now based on the producing and marketing campaigns of
materials for your clients which include print and
broadcast advertising and also the inventiveness and
creativity, i want to know how to deal with this terms
which is required from me to start.

What kind of samples of video works you need from me
and how will it look like as this is Africa, when it
come to level of video works.

Please i need to know and understand these terms so
that i will put it in pratice immediately as i believe
that if really you want to help me you can.

Thanks,

Chuks.

And my response to him...

Quote:

Hi Chuks,

It's good to hear from you. I have attached a script. It is very simple. It is from a training video that we did for a company here in the U.S. Look over the script and produce the video in the best way that you can, following the script exactly.

Now, I do not expect you to have access to the high-end video production equipment that you would have if you were over here. All I need to see is that you are able to produce something, no matter how poor the video equipment is. I am more concerned about the content than I am the quality. Again, this is just an exercise to see if you can read and follow a commercial script.

Best regards,

Derek

Here is the original training video from the Sponge Bob Squarepants show.

I'm somewhat let down that you don't have him working in a lumber yard.

Maybe next video we can see how much Mr. Chuks could chuck wood, if Mr. Chuks would chuck wood, that is.

Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2006 2:31 am

^^^ Nah, too risky. he might steal the wood and cook his dinner over it. Can't him have him working AND fed...

Well this guy is really desparate he has tried all sort and it didn't work, now he might just be thinking that he can still convince you by telling you the truth.

What a joker, hit him hard. the longer he keeps on talking to you the safer it is for some naive people

Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 5:53 pm

He seems to be rethinking making the training video now. Or at least I think that is what is going on here. He is not exactly the most literate person in the world. Would someone else like to take a shot at interpreting what the mouthbreather is saying?

Dear Derek,

To be honest with you the tesk is very great for me to
handle as i must have to study every lines and for me
to produce the firm as in auditting me with
somefriends who will art with me these will cost money
which i dont have for now. (what the f*ck did he just say?)

I am so delighted for this but how do i start in this
new work in my level of life.

Please if you will agree with me i have my own idea in
business of marketing and selling of products here in
africa which are imported from Asia or America and
Europe which make profits here. (Yea, we got something like that here in America. It's called WalMart.)

Let me know what you say about this.

Thanks,
Chuks

Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 6:09 pm

I agree, sounds like the lazy lad is looking for a different angle or getting ready to ask you for upfront money.

Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 6:11 pm

^^^^
Well, he knows better than to ask me to help fund his stupid business idea. He has already confessed to being a liar and a scammer so there he knows that there is no way in hell that I am ever going to send him a dime (not that I would anyhow).
