"We taped the top-to-bottom renovation of a mold infested home purchased by a single mom/soldier", Raney said. Her newly purchased three-bedroom, tri-level home had water damage and severe mold problems that hospitalized her asthmatic son.
Aurora, CO (PRWEB) November 24, 2004 -- The Aurora home transformation was captured on tape by producer Paul Shavelson and Cero Productions videographer, cameraman Rich Raney for New TV Reality show for A&E, "At Home with the Brave."
A beautiful quiet fall afternoon in the Pheasant Run neighborhood, except for the noise and commotion that was going on at the end of a cul-de-sac on East Radcliff Place... Broncos cheerleaders, the Aurora mayor, a camera crew including Cero Productions local videographer Rich Raney, and a half-dozen soldiers in battle fatigues gathered along with about 100 other people at the home.
Inside, Cero Productions, videographer Rich Raney focused his camera on a soldier from the Colorado Air National Guard, and single mother, as she wiped away tears, looking stunned at her home's transformation. The television cameras were recording the moment for the New TV Reality show on A&E, "At Home with the Brave," which premieres Dec. 17th. Paul Shavelson the shows executive producer contracted Cero Productions, Rich Raney to help document the homes transformation. Shavelson developed the idea for the new A&E reality show, "We want to document a community's effort to help GIs who've sacrificed so much this past few years".
It isn't a typical home-makeover show, this was made possible entirely through donations of labor and supplies. The camera crews were there simply to record the community's generosity toward Staff Sgt. Liza Paiz, 27, and her 10-year-old son, Michael Ortega. Paiz has served 10 tours, including a recent tour in Iraq.
"This is a story of faith," the executive producer said. "It shows if you put people together with common goals, a lot of good things will happen." Local business owners donated supplies, appliances and furniture. A local general contractor heading up the renovation estimated the cost of the remodeling at $100,000.
The director of the Redistribution Center, in Golden, Colorado was key in organizing the renovation help. Her Wheat Ridge non-profit charitable group is a clearing-house for donated items, allowing businesses to claim their gifts as deductions.
"Even if this wasn't being filmed, we still would have done it," the director said. "This was a young lady who served our country, and now it's our chance to give back to her."
Cero Productions, cameraman Rich Raney had this to say about the event. "After 20 years in the video production business, documenting everything from new born babies to Volcanoes in the South Pacific, this event truly renewed my faith in human nature... miracles are indeed still possible," Raney said.
