Another collection of excellent work to present on the Soundstage this month! We kick things off with our next Editor’s Choice Award winner. This is a spot (or maybe a PSA) for the Buckinghamshire County Council in England dealing with domestic abuse. It’s over 2 ½ minutes long, but wow, what a job on the copy and VO performance. No surprise it’s from the creative crew at UKRD and produced/directed by Alex Shenton. Track 2 is the promo Dave Cockram makes reference to in his article, The Importance of Editing, on page 3. Track 3 is a promo Dave Foxx references in his Production 512 column this month. More promos are on tracks 4-8. Commercials are on tracks 9-18 – lots of creative fun in this batch. Track 19 is a well-done tribute to Glen Frey which Dan Macintosh sent our way shortly after Glen passed. (Several tracks were submitted early in the year when we were presenting the RAP Awards, and we’re still sprinkling those in with the more current submissions.) And we wrap it up on track 20 with a piece from Chadd Pierce on the Orlando shooting.
