Bullseye - The Target Dog Plushie Dress Up Contest 2010! - 15 December 2010

Bullseye - The Target Dog Plushie Dress Up Contest 2010!
=========================
From December 15, 2010
=========================

This is a video compilation made from the photos and video of all the entries for the Bullseye, The Target Dog, Dress-Up Contest from 2010 that took place at my then place of employment. Here on YouTube, I'd previously shared just the video that I took which didn't include all the entries because the battery of my camera had run out. Thankfully, I had taken photos of all of them. The photos themselves were previously only shared on my Facebook.

For this contest, teams received a Bullseye to dress up as they sit fit for the holiday season. As you can see by the photos and video, the teams were quite curative and some even adventurous in their reimagining of what Bullseye got to wear. Unclear who won as I didn't keep that info.

Have you ever had a Plushie Dress Up Contest?

Audio: "Bells" by SideTrax from the Arpeggios music pack 29 for which I acquired the license through Humble Bundle via the Cinematic Soundwaves - The Sequel bundle and "Christmas Village" by Aaron Kenny from the YouTube audio library. I also added "Jingle Bells" sound effect from the YouTube audio library sprinkled throughout. At the end is the short video and left its sound as captured but with some of the jingle bells overlapping.

Today's #Tarot card is the Six of Wands from The Witches Tarot by Ellen Cannon Reed and Martin Cannon.

Illumination, realization of bigger things, teaching, spiritual growth, humility, realization that there is a pattern to the universe. This often comes after an extremely difficult and trying period in life.

Nuestra Navidad on Univision Presented by Target Promo! - 14 December 2009

Nuestra Navidad on Univision Presented by Target Promo!

=========================
From December 14, 2009
=========================
 
This is the promotional video received on Monday, December 14, 2009 with the subject, "Target presents Nuestra Navidad on Univsion: Dec 17 and Dec 25." This was part of the multicultural marketing by Target at the time with the TV special to be broadcast in Spanish at 9 p.m. CT Thursday, Dec. 17, on Univision. It would be rebroadcasted at 10 a.m. CT on Christmas Day. 

The program featured a visit to the White House for an interview with President Obama and longtime Target partner Gloria Estefan.

Also showcased was P.S. 155 in East Harlem New York, where Target and local team members had recently renovated the library - donating thousands of books and creating an inspiring space for kids to learn, thrive and grow. The segment included interviews with Principal Lillian Ortiz, the school librarian and some very happy students, as well as holiday music performances by David Archuleta and Latin entertainer PeeWee.

The broadcast also included performances by various artists as well as a look at singer/songwriter Luis Fonsi's visit to Target House, a free home-away-from-home for families receiving long-term treatment at St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

As the sole sponsor of the program, Target ran their Spanish-language holiday TV spots, as well as their Dream in Color spot celebrating Hispanic heritage that featured Principal Lillian Ortiz and Luis Fonsi, as well as actress Elizabeth Pena and racecar driver Juan Pablo Montoya of the Target Racing Team. 

This video may be a bit pixelated since I enlarged it to fit. Additionally, although I didn't record the program itself, you may be able to find some of the performances here on YouTube and likely somewhere out through the innerwebs. 

I remember watching most of the program when it aired, mostly to watch Thalia's holiday song performance but didn't record any of it. The video is a little pixelated because I enlarged it. 

Audio: As presented on the video itself.

XIV - Grace from the Mystical Cats Tarot Deck - 12 January 2023

XIV - Grace from the Mystical Cats Tarot Deck - 12 January 2023 
=========================
From January 12, 2023
=========================

The XIV - Grace from the Mystical Cats Tarot Deck was the card drawn on January 12th of 2023.

The card was upside-down meaning Disunion, lack of harmony. Competing interests, unfortunate combinations or alliances. Frustration, impatience.

However although it may seem like you are stalled, things really proceeding toward their proper ends and will arrive in their proper times.

- I'd originally only shared the card pull photo on other socials. For this video version I used CapCut to add a bit of flair to the photo and added the title, date, and the reading. I was originally just going to use it as is but decided that I first wanted a clear view of the card as close to the original share/post on other socials. This brought me to use my trusty old Camtasia 9 to put it all together.

What you see on this short video for the first several seconds is the card with just a tad of enhancements via Camtasia 9 then continue on to the CapCut version. All in all I think it came out pretty neat. 

Although on occasion I do play with enhancements for videos/photos, particularly for my Amalgam Creative Arts channel, I most often choose none to small amounts of enhancements for No Tan Diario Chronicles. Do you like adding more or less enhancements for videos/photos?   

Audio: "Veracruz" by Quincas Moreiras from the YouTube audio library.

=========================
From November 16, 2010

Here is a video from photos I took from two work celebrations. 

The first was the launch of the new mission for the department I was working in at the time. The new mission statement was, "Create guest loyalty and enhance financial performance through a branded dispute experience." We celebrated with cakes that we called Mission Momentum Cake. Here you see the photos i took of the cakes and of the printed and laminated mission statement.

The second was me celebrating ten year anniversary working at Target. The photos I took of the acknowledgement. The congratulations note was signed by the HR team, the acknowledgement by then Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel, and also included a $50 Target GiftCard.
