Episode XI (11) Studios Create Time-Lapse Video For 25th Anniversary

Full-service video production company, Episode XI Studios, LLC, located in Charlotte, NC teams up with Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte, to showcase a 25-hour home build, with the sponsor Bank of America and their volunteers.

Founded as a Christian Ministry, Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte works in partnership with God and people from all walks of life to develop community with people in need by building and renovating homes, so that people can live and grow into all that God intended.

The home build began at 6 a.m., with approximately 30 Bank of America volunteers moving walls into place, securing them to the slab, and connecting the top plate. By 4 p.m., the roof was on and siding installation had begun. Shortly thereafter, the video shows footage of a rainstorm that threatens to delay the 7 a.m. completion goal. Volunteers huddled on the porch waiting for the storm to pass to continue their work. Although the rain continued to fall on and off, the Habitat Charlotte staff and Bank of America volunteers persevered and the home was still ready for the dedication on time. The finished video may be seen at the following http://www.episodexistudios.com/images/video%20files/Habitat_For_Humanity/movie/HFHTL.html

Episode XI Studios was recently contracted to produce the 25^th anniversary video for Habitat for Humanity, and during the production, something extremely profound was noticed-Hugh McColl. It was no surprise to see Hugh McColl on site, because Bank of America has been an instrumental sponsor of Habitat for Humanity since its inception, 25 years ago. The surprise came when Hugh McColl drives up in his 1980-something pickup, sporting decals of the United States Marine Corp and Habitat for Humanity, on the sides and back of the truck. Why would someone so successful, with so much money and power (even as a retired Bank executive) drive such a weathered truck and help build a home for someone he doesn’t know? Because, Hugh McColl understands the meaning of “the dash”.

A close business associate and still closer friend once told me that “life if about the dash”. He goes on to explain that on your grave will bare a birth date and a death date, and the dash that separates the two represents your life. No one ever says on his/her deathbed, “I wish I would have be more successful, with more money and power”. As a Hospice volunteer, I have heard many times, “I wish I would have spent more time…”.

I wanted to share this story, because I feel that there is a lesson here that each of us should learn from. Live life with no regrets. Helps others when you can. Reach out to your neighbor and to your neighbor’s neighbor. Mr. McColl is carrying out the duties of every man and woman…to help those in need.
