History of Motion Pictures - Jam Handy - A Genius at Work DVD: History of Motion Pictures Jam Handy A Genius at Work DVD |
| Product Description : Jam Handy was a chronic achiever even from his younger years. His name was in the news with seven American and 13 world records in competitive swimming by the age of 19. He won Olympic gold medals in this discipline 20 years apart, and this remarkable achievement earned him a listing in Ripley's Believe It Or Not. He was driven by an innate need to excel, and this trait was in prominent evidence when he got into big league advertising. He placed his ?A Jam Handy Production' logo on hundreds of films for companies and for schools. At the same time, he was a benevolent human being - during World War II he produced 7,000 films for the armed services, taking only 1 percent profit when the legal rate was 7 percent. From a historical perspective, the interview featured in Jam Handy - A Genius at Work DVD - probably the longest and most detailed ever made with the legendary adman - is quite fascinating. Jamison (Jam) Handy relates various landmark incidents in his prolific career and recalls the names of people who went on to become forces in their own right. For any business media student, aspiring ad filmmaker or sales training instructor, this interview is an indispensable source of wisdom and inspiration. The viewer is finally left with a deeper knowledge of what makes the world of advertising tick - and lingering impressions of a fine and upright man who believed in what he did...and excelled for that reason. |
