Talk:Vance Lorenzini

Untitled
I am close to Vance and I created the account under his name because something did need to be written about him. He's already mentioned on Wikipedia in two articles that I found. I'm currently doing a research project to dig up all of his MTV Music Awards, CLIO Awards, and his entire production record in music videos, commercials, and feature films. There are far less notable people that have been profiled on Wikipedia. I was not familiar with the anti-auto-bio policies of Wikipedia but have made myself very familiar with them now. As I dig up more factual information I will continue updating this with the information that I find.

If I don't hear back within 48 hours on this I'll remove the Autobiography tag if that's alright with you. Cheers.

Second revision, by close I don't mean like family, I mean as in I actually have access to the guy. If I need a question answered I can call him, I can have old records of his dug up and sent to me, and have a better chance at actually creating a meaningful entry in Wikipedia because of my proximity.

Having trouble finding "reliable sources" for MTV Awards down to the Director/Production Designer level. Same with CLIO awards. Their database is horribly under-filled and the way you query their database does not allow direct linking to the award itself. I don't find the "Music Video Database" to be of any help either as it's complete garbage.

 * I don't know a lot about publications in reference to MTV, but you might try google books and google news. If he's been covered by a magazine like Rolling Stone that would also work well. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 02:04, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Beautiful, that works, will start digging in the morning, thanks Jeremy.
