Declaration of Independence

A few weeks ago My Nassau Sun Editor Amelia A. Hart came up with an idea for the Fourth of July.

She suggested we film Nassau County residents reading the Declaration of Independence.

I immediately thought about those television commercials where people recite poems or famous quotes.

Well, I never imagined how hard or fun it must be to make those commercials.

The hard part was finding people who aren’t camera shy. The fun part was thinking about the blooper video I easily could have made from what I cut. People liked the project and had fun with it.
