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,

"Gary's talking about you."
Just as I finished speaking the words,
"So
if any of you guys are interested, get the URL of her
website from her and go to it right away."
Theresa burst into the room
with a big smile on her face and her arms waving in the air
saying...

"Here I Am!"

I would give almost anything to have had
that moment captured on film. But
alas, it was not since the cameraman never moved his camera.

In any case, I've done the best I can to
salvage this situation.
