Very nice. Good video editing and planning for the video production to tell the whole story.

Not sure what kind of a company that Jordan is.

Ahh, yes.  Been there, done that. Excellent shot, Frank.  The composition is great, and the pic perfectly captures how I have felt in that guy's position. He has ear buds, though, so he must be  having more fun than I did... Cheers, Rick   http://photo.net/photos/RickW - Original Messa
