CNN worked with production company Big Mouth to create a :30 spot promoting "Fortune Advisor," a CNN/Fortune Magazine feature which provides information on investing, career, the latest products, and leisure pursuits. Big Mouth Creative Director Stephen Cocks designed the look of the spot incorporating multiple layers of visuals and type within a photo proof theme. Composer John Lambert created the driving original music and sound design. Georgia Public Television also tapped Lambert to compose an original score for the 90 minute documentary, "Defying the Odds." The dramatic documentary, which aired on GPTV, highlighted the lives of five inner city students who were given the chance to win full college scholarships while still in grade school. All the students had to do was to graduate from high school, a difficult challenge given their surroundings of drugs, gangs, and violence.
