Teachers, students produce video commercial for contest

Oct. 21, 2011 

Teachers and students at the Watervliet Junior-Senior High School have created a 30-second commercial hoping to win a healthy challenge video contest.

Early in October, Mr. Birmingham began organizing efforts to enter BlueShield of Northeastern New York’s Healthy Changes Everything video contest. Mr. Birmingham wrote, directed and edited the spot, which stars Ms. Rozell and Mr. Santiago together with about 30 Watervliet students. Shooting took place over the course of two days. Natalie Spence and art student Christina Falzo produced a poster used in the video.

Prizes range from $500 to $2,500 and winners may also see their video in a future BlueShield of Northeastern New York commercial. Winners will be announced Nov. 14.

The video is now posted on Youtube. Mr. Birmingham promises to post a bloopers reel in the near future. View video
