Drugged driving has been overlooked for a number of years, but research shows it may be responsible for more than 20 percent of car crashes. December is especially risky, since there are so many holiday parties with people driving when they shouldn't be. The month is sponsored by SADD, a student group based in Marlborough, MA. If you'd like tosupport them, go their[website](http://sadd.org/) here http://SADD.Org   ![kca.jpg](https://d1yoaun8syyxxt.cloudfront.net/ng160-669741cd-f00a-4f58-b0e6-b63c36915009-v2 "kca.jpg") December is also AIDS Awareness Month, and though treatment and prevention have come a long way, there's a great need for help. One great organization is Keep A Child Alive, co-founded by performing artist, Alicia Keys and longtime activist, Leigh Blake.

I always go by the rule of 3... Tell the target audience what they will see and hear, show and tell them, then tell them again what you showed them. This helps reinforce your message. If it is a commercial, make sure you deliver a compelling message that delivers the desired results. Grab their attention right away, then call them to action! Scripts usually go through multiple revisions, but once it is finalized, you can schedule your talent and shooting dates. Be sure to check out your location ahead of time, for lighting, spacing, sound quality, and access to electricity. # Our Latest Video Check out our latest video on Youtube.

Kayla and Tyler – Wedding Couple - *"Hi Michael,* *Just wanted to reach out and thank you for videoing our daughter's wedding in VT last Saturday!* *And thank you for being so unstoppable when your car broke down!* *We hope you were able to get to your next wedding and also resolve your car issues with the same unstoppability!* *Thanks again for persevering and making the wedding video possible!!"* Lynn P. Lynn P. – Wedding Mom - "I am extremely pleased with the videography work of Michael Connell at HBSU.  I contacted him just a few days before performing in a live symphonic concert at Boston's Wilbur Theater, hoping to find someone to film the show.  He was very quick to respond and not only captured excellent HD footage from multiple angles, but also took care of recording audio directly into the live mixing board - something I hadn't even thought of!  He was a professional in every sense of the word, and I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again." Best, Jillian Jillian Aversa – Vocalist – Video Games Live - *Thank you for all  your help here in DS the week of January 12!  You have gone above & beyond to help make the event a great one!  It was chaotic, and you helped us keep it under control.  Thanks for everything, Scott & Marie* Marie-Helene and Scott | Dassault Systemes - *I was initially overwhelmed with the project of scheduling and shooting videos of 16 of our doctors and providers. But working with Mike was extremely easy--his flexibility and low-key professionalism made the entire project come together easily over 4 separate shooting days. He put the subjects at ease which allowed them to talk easily about their passion for medicine. I am happy to have found such a great resource for future video projects.* Susan C. - *Easy set up and cordination. The quality of the video was excellent and the finished product was handed over in a short turn around! Would use his expertise again and would definitely recommend his services.* Mark H. ### Contact Us **Michael Connell** Home & Business Services Unlimited, **Address:** P.O.
