Hi All
Its time for US to make a Lyme Awareness Movie --
Its Real Easy to post video on the net on sites like- YouTube -Google Video-Yahoo video -IFilm - ect --
If you have not gone to one of these video sites you should--
Video on the net is Ready for Prime Time- now --
These sites are like having our-- Own TV Network -- that reaches the Whole World - 24X7--
This is a Very Powerful Tool to get our message out-- and we should use it--
Realize that Anyone from Mom to a Congressmen is just one Click away from getting- Good Info-- SHOWN -to them --
A picture is worth a thousand words-- Video is worth millions---
What I want to do is to get about 15 Lymees to contribute there story about what they have gone threw in there struggles with Lyme Disease --
This is the Plan --
You will Video Tape -Yourself -telling your story -- -- at Home --
Then send me there tape and I will take the footage and make Several Movies with it--Different lengths -ect- 5 min 10 min 30 min ect
I am a professional video editor and I have made several hundred movies of this type --I will do a good job--
The camera needed is a Mini DV video camera-- Mini DV video cameras are real common and any video camera that is less than 7 years old is probably a Mini DV camera--
I have 1 video camera that I can mail to Anyone who wants to take part in this and dose not have access to a video camera --
You will be able to keep the camera a few days and then mail it to the next person who is going to use the camera - - I will supply tapes tripod ect. with the camera
I will explain to everyone how to get Good Picture and sound- Its not hard--
I Just had a Idea--I will make a video about using the camera and post it on YouTube so I can- Show -you how to get a good picture and sound-- How Cool is that --
What I would like is each person to tell there story-- about 15 minutes or so -(Longer is better)
Tell about getting sick-Finding a doctor - what lyme has done to you -your family- your life ect-- the Hoops you have had to Jump threw --ect
and tell what you have done to get better -ect
People will Watch and Learn and Help by seeing these shows
We all have our Own story - there All intrusting- and can ( Will ) make a Big difference in others lives --
This is not a movie that actors can make-- It takes Real People to make this one --
And the Real people are You --Ouch--
I am going to be in it too --So you all will be able to see me Groovin --
I dont care who sees me but I know some of you dont want to be seen -- so I will show you how to light yourself so no one can tell who it is-- Not even your mother --
There are many ways to accomplish this -Easy- No names will be used- ect-
Also I will send each person who takes part in this a ruff edit that Only they can look at -- -- Using YouTube--(like Private message on LN)
To give the OK for the Final Version --
After the OK is given by everyone -
I will put on the net for Anyone to See and Use--
I will make several shows of different lenghts - 5 min to 45 min for different situations so that local TV stations can use - ect -
The Internet is So Cool-- ---
Our story is Important -- It is up to US to do this-- No One Else Can --
Also the Movie can be linked to LymeNet or ANY other internet site-- Easily---
The video site are FREE and Easy and work Very Well -
I figure I will spend about 200 hours or more editing the videos-- So I am not making this offer lightly-- Its going to be alot of hard work for me -
But I am Happy to do this -
I Hope you will Help contribuite your time and story to this project -- the more folks that help the better I can make the video --
So you can see examples of my work go to YouTube and Search - -- Meals on Wheels-- ( Look for the one that says Austin in discription)--
I made a TV program for- Meals on Wheels- a non profit in Austin a few years ago--
A couple of days ago I was going threw some old tapes and found the show again--
So I put it on- YouTube.com- for them and now they can Link there site with the good video -Free-Easy-Fast-
Meals on Wheels --Loves it-- It helps them get there message out-- Easily and Free-- They told me it is already helping them -
I have been wanting to make this Lyme Awaireness video for a long time--
Now things have come together-- its time to do this--
So Please help me in this project-- by volinteering you story --Jay--

I'm not into volunteering my story but I think it is a great idea.
I wish you all the best in doing this.
