Paige, Tanner and Dave
I don’t think I’ve ever introduced you to the people who are responsible for creating the Cold Case Oklahoma videos. That’s a grave oversight on my part, because this project wouldn’t exist without their talent and professionalism. They’re an integral part of the team. Even better, they’re good people who are easy to work with and who care about Cold Case every bit as much as I do.
Paige Dillard writes all of the scripts for the Cold Case videos. She consults with me but does much of her own research, digging through the archives for past stories, searching the Web and wading through what is sometimes hours of footage to find the best clips to include in the documentary-style videos. Sometimes we go to interviews together and take turns asking questions. Her job is behind-the-scenes and pretty thankless, but she’s a talented asset, and she has to work faster than me: Her deadlines are often much earlier than mine.
If you watch many videos at NewsOK.tv, you’ve probably seen Tanner Herriott on-camera. (My favorite is the one where he basically gets beaten up by a self-defense instructor: http://www.newsok.tv/?titleID=1483902033.) For Cold Case, he works behind the camera as a skilled videographer. He has shot the video for every Cold Case I’ve worked on, and I couldn’t be happier with the job he’s done. Tanner works from Paige’s scripts to cobble the final videos together and add in the visual effects. If you think the videos look good, it’s because of him.
Everyone knows Dave Morris. I don’t think you can watch television in Oklahoma City for more than 30 minutes without seeing him in a NewsOK commercial. Dave’s a much better looking guy than I am, and he’s far more comfortable on camera, so he’s the face of Cold Case Oklahoma — and thank God for it. Dave hosts and narrates the videos. I think he does a great job.
