For my Computers in Communication class, we had to choose a “green” client on which to base all of our assignments throughout the entire semester. I chose First Act Guitars for their Bambusa guitar (made from bamboo and no wood at all). As part of the project, we had to create a PDF handout, a video, and then present a PowerPoint presentation to the class.
So last week, I borrowed a camera from BU College of Communication and actually headed down to the First Act Guitar Studio in Boston to film my fictional 30-second web spot promoting the guitar.
Here’s the finished product:
And here’s the handout I created:
Everyone was really courteous and accommodating. And of course, I couldn’t leave there without a new guitar (not a Bambusa though.) Snagged a First Act CE-140 on sale for $100 plus student discount. It’s a great guitar (not just for the money, but in general), I’ll probably keep it for a long time.
