Applauded And Hooted And Hollered And
Jumped Up And Down And Stamped Their
Feet
To Make The Loudest And Longest
Thundering Of Applause
I Have Ever Experienced In My Entire
Life!
I was ecstatic. I knew then I was going
to make an enormous amount of money by selling the DVD's of
my "Fusion Seminar" by online affiliate marketing and other
forms of Internet and offline marketing.
But something went wrong. The guys who were
taping this seminar set up their video camera at the back of the
room and focused in on the podium where each speaker would
stand to make their presentation. Then, the cameraman went to sleep.
Let's say we have a speaker (like me) who likes to prowl
the stage as he talks. Well, since the
cameraman was asleep and the speaker moved away from the podium,
all you'll be seeing on the DVD is a damn podium.
Fortunately, you WILL HEAR what the speaker is saying... you
just won't see him at the time.
In addition, some of the speakers
used overhead slides or a PowerPoint presentation. Did the
cameraman move the camera to capture the information on the
screen? Nooooooooooooo. When the cameraman should have moved the
camera to focus on the slide being shown on the screen, he just stayed dead on
target on that podium. As a consequence, someone watching
the DVD's cannot see the slides the speaker was using to
illustrate his point.
Another bad thing is there were some
humorous moments of the seminar I would have LOVED to
have seen captured on camera. For example, one time when my assistant, Theresa,
was outside the room, quite a few people commented on how
efficient and beautiful and helpful she is. I replied,
"You got that right." And
then I jokingly added,
"And I think she's really horny too. So if
any of you guys are interested, get the URL of her website
from her and go to it right away.
Well, it turned out while the audience
and I first started talking about the outstanding qualities
of Theresa, someone went out in the hallway and told her,
