BIOGRAPHY
Not Your Average Joe - Col. Joseph F. Dunn
The family of a World War II veteran and college professor commissioned Patton Productions to produce a film which would capture unique personality, devotion to service and love of family. The 40-minute film, featuring interviews with Col. Dunn, and various family members, friends and colleagues, premiered before a large gathering of family and friends celebrating this beloved patriot and professor on his 95th birthday. (excerpt)
Soldier/Photographer Tony Vaccaro
At the invitation of New York City's PBS-affiliate station,Patton Productions produced a short-documentary about WWII veteran and acclaimed Look and Life feature photographer Tony Vaccaro, whose seminal work while serving as an infantry scout in the 83rd Infantry Division [under the US Third Army] during World War II and then as a photographer for the Stars and Stripes newspaper from 1945-49, captured both the demise of the Third Reich and birth of modern Germany. The montage at the end of this clip features some of Tony's most famous works.
The film aired several times New York Public Television on Veterans Day, and has proved a valuable international calling card for the much sought-after 87 year-old's legendary portfolio. (excerpt)
General Julius Becton at 80
We were hired by the children of a distinguished American Army General to produce a half-hour program (along with a collection of memorable outtakes) commemorating his life's achievements...so far. We integrated dozens of interviews, home movie footage, and stills into a powerful collage of memories and reflections. The storyline was developed around several key themes including integrity and service to country.
In addition to producing the video, we also had the great pleasure of presenting the video on a big screen and sound system at a formal dinner of over 200 family and friends. He might not admit it, but the General was utterly surprised - and the family will have this keepsake for generations to come. (excerpt)
