| 説明 | ORLANDO, Fla. - LimpingFrog Productions partnered with Operation Giveback to produce a highlight reel for the 5th Annual 5k/10k Run, Walk, Roll held May 16, 2015, at the University of Central Florida. Created by veterans of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, Operation Giveback for Wounded Warriors, Inc. (OGB) is a non-profit organziation committed to raising funds and awareness for America's wounded warriors and the families of fallen heroes. "This race is one of several charitable events that OGB hosts around the country," said Jose Garcia, founder of Operation Giveback and retired Army command sergeant major. "Together these events not only raise money for wounded warriors and families who lost a loved one while serving their country, [but] they also instill hope by reminding them that their sacrfices will always be remembered by a grateful nation." LimpingFrog Productions' crack team of videographers and photographers captured the action both on the ground and in the air while highlighting the faith, hope and charity that drew thousands of people to compete and volunteer for this event. "This was the first time in our company's 10-year history that we incoporated a drone in our projects," said John L. Carkeet IV, executive producer of LimpingFrog Productions. "The stunning 'eye in the sky' perspective uniquely visualizes the outpour of support for the men and women who lost limbs and sometimes their very lives while defending our nation."Currently serving as a public affairs noncommissioned officer in the Army Reserve, Carkeet could relate closely to these sacrfices when tragedy struck the very foundation of LimpingFrog Productions just one week earlier. While volunteering for a five-month tour with U.S. Army Japan near Tokyo, Carkeet received a call from his wife who informed him that Adam T. Lee, co-founder of LimpingFrog Productions, perished in a tram accident at the Orlando International Airport on May 8. "I was too shocked to shed tears at first," recalled Carkeet. "It took a few minutes to accept the fact that my close friend and business partner of 17 years was gone forever. I'm not ashamed to admit that, when the truth finally registered, my wales could be heard throughout the barracks."Carkeet and Lee met in 1998 while they worked as volunteer production assistants for Time Warner Cable in Melbourne, Fla. After producing several short films and dcumentaries during their undergraduate years at the University of Central Florida, the pair started LimpingFrog Productions in 2004. Carkeet and Lee partnered with numerous clients under the LimpingFrog banner to produce various projects digital media from weddings and commercials to sport documentaries and corporate events. "LimpingFrog Productions was a part-time operation until 2010," said Carkeet. "That was when Adam had single-handedly locked in our first long-term client while I completed basic military training for the U.S. Army Reserve. [Adam] continued to expand the business while I fulfilled various military assignments both at home and abroad."Lee was preparing to step in as director for the Operation Giveback while Carkeet embarked on his latest military assignment in Japan. Lee died 10 days after the two met to discuss the future of the company."We were editing our highlight reel and preparing to unveil our new website," said Carkeet. "We tabled a few topics until Adam returned from his vacation to Columbia. Sadly, those and every other business-related matters settle onto my shaky hands and tear-stricken face."Hours after the last runner crossed the finish line at UCF, Carkeet and his team broke down their gear and made their way to Rockledge, Fla, to attend a memorial ceremony to celebrate the life of an inspiring individual. "It was stressful day and a emotionally draining night," admitted Carkeet. "However, the new and familiar faces that supported this endeavor offer hope that LimpingFrog Productions will continue Adam's legacy."Photos by John L. Carkeet IV, LimpingFrog Productions |
