Maybe I have a future as a copywriter?

I feel tired, but good. This week (besides news stories that I need to try to fix and plan out) I get to work on a commercial for International Relations. We are supposed to make a one minute clip on a problem affecting the world, and then post it on YouTube. I chose to do something on the Darfur crisis. I think it's going to be cool. I would work on it more today but I didn't get much sleep and I'm tired as hell. As soon as I get it done, I'll post the link.

I think I'm the only one who is going to use narration but here's what it'll say (posted from Blackboard, and I'm finding that the font size will not change for me):

Narration (the bold is what is going to be the text overlay on the video)

As of April 2008, hundreds of thousands of people have died in the five-year conflict in Darfur.

Two and a half million displaced people live in camps within Darfur, and more than 200,000 people are living in refugee camps in neighboring Chad.

Isn't it time to make a change?

And that change starts with one… one person, one idea, one step to action to make a difference, but it takes more than one heart to see it through.

Be one of the many hearts who are trying to put a stop to the violence in Darfur. Each person, each idea, and each step brings the world closer to seeing an end to this conflict.

On Saturday I did a radio commercial for a theatre as an assignment for my radio broadcast, which was done in a total of 15 minutes in my room.
