Hans Zimmer is a very well known, and widely respected, composer in Hollywood. He won the Oscar for The Lion King, and has scored movies like Gladiator, Mission Impossible, Rain Man, Thelma & Louise, Kung Fu Panda, The Last Samurai, the Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight, Sherlock Holmes, Inception, and lots more.
He’s also a good human rights supporter and a donor to humanitarian causes.
On Dec 13, ACLU has a big awards ceremony where they are presenting him with an award for his human rights work.
Bonnie Abaunza, who works closely with me on TheCommunity.com, is the head of his philanthropic division and his foundation. She called me tonight desperately needing a nice “tribute ad” for the booklet for the award.
I put this together for her. Got the concept, did the mock up in Photoshop, got it approved by her, licensed the images, did the final and got it off to the mag in about three hours. They liked it and bumped it up to a full page ad.
Kind of proud of myself.
