Rhode Island bankruptcy attorney Mark Buckley is Driving While Videotaping, and the proof is in his YouTube video. Buckley holds the video camera with one hand and driving with the other. Plus Buckley can’t look the camera in the eye because he’s too busy driving and watching traffic.

Gerry, some of the best advice I ever received came to me unsolicited. I want to be fair, but I still don’t know what to make of your crazy review.
The title seemed so compelling. For drama you played up the “safety” angle, yet you seemed more upset that I didn’t look the camera in the eye because I was so busy watching traffic. Make up your mind. Also, where was the disclaimer that DWV was just something you “made up” and not a real violation?
So what have I learned about you?
1. You like my car.
2. I think you like my hair.
3. You get easily distracted.
4. You’ve never used a micro HD camera before.
The camera I use requires less effort to hold than a cup of coffee, less attention than changing a radio station, and offers less distraction than kids in the back seat. Also, I did provide my phone number at the end. I’d like more points please.
You should have saved a few of your pithy remarks for Kelly Chang Rickert’s hair-tossing, fuzzy-booted, frogger video at http://tinyurl.com/rdt33o. And you can tell Neil Squillante that I am just fulfilling one of his predictions for 2009: that lawyers will use new technology to increase their productivity like never before.
All kidding aside, when I am ready to part with $5,000 to have your video production company make me the 2-minute video I deserve, I will give definitely call you. Until then, I can easily re-shoot the video in a parked car. I’ll even try to rig up a fan so you can see the wind blowing through my neatly combed hair (as you request).
I have to add one thing-
If you create a one-time-video with me, your video shoot lasts approximately one hour. Out of that footage I am usually able to extract about 4-6 usable video clips lasting 2-3 minutes each.
In a recent article I wrote called “Top 5 Reasons Creating Video is So Expensive” http://lawyersvideostudio.com/2009/08/04/top-5-reasons-creating-attorney-video-is-so-expensive/ I explain that the post-production phase is very time intensive.
If you’d like to re-do your video, I’d be happy to review it.
