North Carolina County Videos
In 2010 I spent a great deal of time shooting on location for a number of county websites. The company I worked for is CGI Communications, Inc. They specialize in creating promotional videos for communities and businesses. I worked in Wake Forest and Lillington on a few occasions, but I spent the most time in Harnett County.
Harnet is preparing for a huge increase in population due to military restructuring. Soldiers and families will be relocated to Cumberland County’s Fort Bragg. With that, families will look at moving not only into Fayetteville North Carolina, but also further north to be closer to the Capital City of Raleigh. Harnett County is positioned very well between a military community and our state capital.
My job last Spring, was to work along side the wonderful women of the Harnett County’s Economic Development Office and record various places around the county that demonstrate optimum areas for stability and growth. I got an inside look at the school systems, both fundamental and higher education. I was able to check out the industries located there, the hotels and b&b’s, restaurants, the arts and so many other things it is hard to list them all. I did get to a Campbell Camel’s softball game and shot an interview along the Cape Fear River.
Today I was searching around the Harnett County website to see if the videos were completed and I found them. You can check out their website and click on the Harnett County Video Tourbook for the videos I helped create. Enjoy!
