Press Releases

For Immediate Release:
Rob Lindsay Pictures announces it is finishing videos for American Cancer Society and special needs school in East Tennessee.
We are very proud to announce that Rob Lindsay was chosen to produce and direct fund-raising videos for two highly deserving clients: the American Cancer Society and The Trousdale School, in Cleveland, TN.
The first video, for the Cancer Society, is a high-energy music-video style coverage of a fashion Gala held at Nashville's City Hall stage. Last minute backstage high spirits are intercut with flowing footage of over twenty models on stage wearing the creations of three of Nashville's top designers.
Said Lindsay, “The organizers had approached us with an idea merely to record the event. We sold them on the idea of shooting it in a “music video” mode with fast shots and quick cuts that would better communicate the feel and glamour of the event. They bought into it and loved it.”
The Trousdale School video involved a two day shoot on location, following students at their jobs and classes and interviewing parents and faculty. The concept for the video was developed out of conference calls Lindsay conducted with anoroc agency creative Deborah Loercher and school founder Tom Johnson. “The story line that guided me through the production was simple: special needs people can do more than most of us can imagine, and this school is uniquely suited to help them achieve their goals.
“For me, it was an amazing experience to meet these folks and be able to help tell their story and show the passion of those who work with them. I won't forget them.”
Lindsay used experience gained in thirty years in the film industry to bring the best out of his subjects, whether they were glamorous models or shy people with special needs.

roblins@comcast.net Director/Cameraman Rob Lindsay has been selected by the Walton Group to create and direct their 2006 campaign, using a mix of real people and talent to underline the message that “Walton Cares.” The 2 day shoot will be on location in Augusta, Georgia. This will be the second pairing for Lindsay and Walton execs. He helmed their 2003 campaign and helped win them a Silver Telly that year. “We're building on the branding we started then: you can trust Walton because they care. We'll be pairing active past patients with talent playing staff to reflect the bonding that happens during therapy. Voice-overs will be cut from audio interviews I'll be doing with the former patients during the shoot. The voices will be unmistakably real and believable.” Lindsay sums up: “Trust is what we are building here. Trust and associating Walton with successful therapy.” Walton Rehabilitation Hospital has been serving the people of the Southeast since 1988. It is a recognized Center of Excellence in Stroke, Brain Injury, and Pain.

Nashville, TN: Video director and photographer Rob Lindsay, of Rob Lindsay Pictures, announced the completion of the second contract for both video and still photography production for web and DVD promotion for Eye Health Partners and its subsidiary VisionAmerica, which provide advanced surgical eye care through clinics across the Southeast. Lindsay was chosen to write, produce, and direct short, friendly videos to introduce EHP doctors to prospective patients who can access the clips at their eye doctor's office or at EHP's website. “The idea is to put patients at their ease and to allow them to learn a bit about who the doctors are and that they do, in fact, care very much about their patients' needs and comfort.” “Rob has helped us through this process from the start,” said Mark Wagner, CEO of Eye Health Partners and VisionAmerica. “He drafted and re-drafted copy with input from each doctor. And he made the shoots fun for them, getting very natural readings.” After each doctor's video shoot was completed, Lindsay shot still portraits for the company's brochure and website needs. Eye Health Partners and VisionAmerica stand at the forefront of surgical technique and medical experience, two themes woven through each script. Together with the humanity and concern displayed by the doctors on screen, “It all added up to creating a base level of trust,” said Lindsay. “The starting point for any doctor patient relationship.” Rob Lindsay has been serving regional clients with award-winning television commercial production for over ten years in Nashville, with an emphasis in the health care industry. He also provides still photography services. Contact: Rob Lindsay Pictures, 615-419-2299; www.roblindsaypictures.com
