What do Miss Tennessee, Paris Hilton and Dr. Phil have in common?

Dec. 09, 2008

Dale Smith Thomas, a national motivational speaker, recently hired Navigation to produce a "highlight reel" promo video for her. Dale has appeared on the Dr. Phil show as an expert on beauty pageants as well as on the Simple Life reality show where she whipped Paris and Nicole in shape at her Boot Camp. This promotional film will feature Dale's presentation at the Women's Conference where hundreds of local women laughed, cried and cheered her words of encouragement and advice.

Dale is not the first prominent beauty pageant winner we've worked with — we did extensive work with Miss America, Heather French Henry in 2005 on several tv and radio commercials for the Ink and Blood museum exhibit in Lexington, KY. Advertising has it's advantages!

This 3-camera shoot was shot with high definition professional cameras, big, bright 1000 watt lights and some serious audio. Every shoot brings about problems you don't think of in pre-production. Our biggest challenge for this shoot was the clanging and clinking of the silverware from the attendees as they ate their lunch. The solution was using a directional lavalier microphone instead of the intended handheld mic. This minimized the ambient noise and isolated Dale's voice for higher production quality.

For inspiration and encouragement please visit Dale's site at http://www.dalesmiththomas.com.. Sorry, we can't help with Dr. Phil or Paris, yet!
