The coolest thing just happened to me... |
|
This is kind of a long story, but I need to set this up.
About three months ago, a guy I work with came to me and asked me to do him a favor. A friend of his named Bob had recently passed away, and they were having a memorial service for him. Bob was an avid pilot, and participated in the anniversary of Doolittle's Raid by flying a B-25 off of the deck of an aircraft carrier. My friend at work was part of a crew that filmed the guys getting the plane ready, and then the actual flight.
So, they wanted to put a video together for the memorial, but the sound was all over the place. He asked me if I could improve it, and I said I would certainly try. So, I spent a few hours editing the sound and mixing it so it sounded decent and recorded it back to their video. My friend told me that everyone loved the video and what I did with the sound.
Well, he just popped his head in and told me that he had something for me. I went out to his car and he presented me with a hand carved B-25 that used to sit in Bob's office (the pilot of the B-25.). I asked my friend if the family should have it and he said, "they wanted you to have it."
I am blown away.

Congratulations. :)
You helped create a family heirloom. They're going to value that footage for a long time now that the soundtrack makes it more pleasant to watch. Obviously they know that. :)

6. What goes around comes around. That applies to the good things you do, |
|
not only the bad things. You did something nice for someone and the good came back to you.
