Synopsis:

Dave Bengston, vice president and site head at Amgen Colorado, was leaving to head up their Rhode Island facility. The video was to be shown at a going away dinner held in his honor. The idea of the video was to have folks talk about their experiences working with Dave and what made him special. At the end, we shot as many people as possible saying goodbye to him. It may not work for those outside the company, but it was quite a moving tribute. What was so special, is that folks genuinely like and respected Dave.

Of note, with a weekend to conceptualize the piece, shooting started on Monday morning, and the finished video was played on Friday at 6 pm. Rush hour traffic really created a Broadcast News running-through-hallways-type delivery of the final product.
