2003 PRODUCTION

The production process happened very quickly. A crew of 20 professionals teamed with over a dozen Joeys to shoot the organ donation spot in one day. The Joeys got a chance to learn first-hand about how a professional, 35mm film shoot works, and the crew got a chance to pass on some of their knowledge gathered over the years.

After the one-day shoot, the PSA, "Beautiful People" whirled through post-production, with editing, effects and original scoring happening in just a few days. The Joeys were able to be part of the process, seeing how television commercials are assembled and polished before they hit the air.

"Beautiful People" premiered at The Show, ADFED's annual award extravaganza in October 2003.
