At The Connor Group, the opening video played at the beginning of the August Awards Breakfasts has become a time-honored tradition. Once again, we entrusted key associates to kick off the event by delivering laughs from a slightly offbeat script. But, even with their best efforts, the unpredictability of video production always adds an extra layer of excitement.
This year’s video had a fun take on what would happen if the Training Department took their Bootcamps to new heights. It’s worth a rewatch or two.

As is true with any famed Hollywood production, what gets filmed doesn’t always end up in the final edit. While some of their scenes were cut for time, partners Payton Stone, Jenn Moreno and newcomer Nina Galbraith and still brought their ‘A’ game in two deleted scenes.

But, the video and the deleted scenes are only half the laughs. As the cameras rolled, Nina and Jenn occasionally forgot their lines and broke into fits of laughter. Even video veterans like partners Jennie Juran and Courtney Dies stumbled through their scenes with comical grace.
WATCH: Bloopers galore
The bloopers and deleted scenes from our Awards Breakfast video are as cherished as the video itself. None of it happens without the dedication and commitment from our starring associates. They always provide an unexpected twist to the production.
Thanks to their hard work, the promise of more laughter lives on at our National Awards Dinner coming in February 2023!
