## Deliverables

"Bio" Script for Joe Rickards

**Production Notes**:

**Edit**: As the video will be made up of largely still images, the cut should vary from fast-paced to "holds" on important images, with a mix of wide shots and "camera-pushes" used to emphasize particular elements. This will convey a sense of action to the reel, rather than a simple series of stills.

**Action footage**: Selection of stock footage will be needed to supplement the still photos provided by Joe. This footage should be in direct relation to the previous still; Example: after a still image of Joe scuba diving in South Africa, the stock footage should depict Great White sharks swimming toward the camera. This will give an added element of action and "adventure" to the video, and vary the cut to give greater visual interest.

**Music**: After the intro, which "builds" from the initial note, the score should paint in sound the peaks and valleys of the script-from "builds" to "decrescendos" as appropriate. Use the emotional quality of the music to underscore the message of the script.

**Graphics**: A long filmstrip traverses the bottom of the screen-this is literally the film of Joe's life. Each individual frame is a shot from Joe's past, and they spring to life on the overall screen at the appropriate moment in the story, and the filmstrip winds forward . . .

| **1** | Music: ???

Joe Rickards is a man driven by passion - whether at work or play, he always plays full out! He's traversed the planet perusing an extraordinary life - he's been scuba diving with Great White sharks in Cape Town SA, glided the ocean depths of the West Indies with giant manta rays; he's been barefoot water skiing, glacier mountain sledding, swinging through the jungle like Tarzan, he's jumped out of a perfectly good airplane and been deep-sea fishing around the world.

He even proposed to his wife in a helicopter over Niagara Falls!

Music: A long note held as the image of baby Joe on the farm comes up. Transition to build as cuts begin to roll.

VO: Joe rose from humble beginnings to succeed in building successful corporations with partners including Andrea Lucus, former director of the World Bank, and has a Billionaire on his board of advisors?

He's been featured as America's premier real estate expert? on FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC, [url removed, login to view], Wall Street Journal online and over a dozen other affiliates around the Country.

| **2** | Joe believes that "Winning isn't everything - attitude is!" and he attributes farming life for his drive to be successful and happy.

VO: With only $300 in his wallet, straight out of University, Joe bought his first investment property with no money down -

in fact he even put $43,000 cash profit in his pocket on the day he bought it. And over the next two decades he build his real estate empire ?and he did it part-time, while also holding down his day job.

| **3** | Joe was raised in a dysfunctional alcoholic family, in a remote farming town on the Canadian prairies, survived the family home burning to the ground and lost his mother to cancer at age 11.

In elementary school, Joe was a slow reader, so he was thrown into a remedial reading class with Down's syndrome children and he was teased and bullied by the other school kids?.

Driven by his battered self-esteem, Joe worked hard and graduated at the top of his engineering class and over the next 13 years he climbed the corporate ladder at leading Fortune 500 companies.

But Joe realized that engineering wasn't his passion? he *dreaded* going to work every day, but felt chained to his JOB? | Stock video of foggy farm in early morning?

| **5** | Looking ahead Joe saw a clear fork in the road of his life ? this time he would follow his heart and his true passion by helping kids in poverty?. so he quit his successful engineering career, took 5 years off and set out to travel the world and make a difference.

On his journey, Joe helped build a school in the West Indies, he helped at an orphanage in Egypt, another school in Malta and now he's self-funding the building of a school in Uganda. | Juxtaposition of shots-stirring images/videos of children in poverty (push sympathy buttons first), the follow (by creating images of Hope), images of Joe with children in orphanages in Egypt, working on the school project in West Indies; personal shots of Joe interacting with children, back to impoverished kids in Uganda to stock video of happy kids in school in Uganda
