Hi All
Its time for US to make a Lyme Awareness Movie -- to be put on the internet --
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 Free 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 One 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 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 -
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--
Ps- a example of how many folks watch these shows --I put a hand full of my silly videos on a couple of video sites--in 2 weeks they have over 50,000 views--
thats 3570 views a aday-- Sure would be nice if these folks were watching Lyme Awearness Show

Good job on the meals on wheela Jay!
If the instructions are easy enough you can send me a mini camera any time.
My hubby will do the shooting. He's an artist. I am not such a drama queen but anything for the lyme cause.
Good luck with your film Jay and may God bless your efforts.
You can pm me any time.

Hi All
Thanks Dana and Vision for helping out--
I will contact you both soon--
To All of you others--
Making this film is a Good thing-- It will get our message out-- Quickly and world wide --
Arnt you tired of getting the run around by the health system-- well here is a way to put a Stop to it--
I would just make the film about myself-- but to be honest --with just me in the film it would be to Boring--
Thats why I need your help in making this film--
I find it REAL hard to believe that you folks are not Jummping at the chance to tell your story and to help others --
Like I said before this is not a film that actors can make-it takes Real People- and the Real people are You--Jay--
