Judge Richard Brown – 50 Years

On June 3, 2010 a celebration for the District Attorney of Queens County, Richard A. Brown, honored 50 years of public service. Also serving his twentieth year, Judge Brown is now the longest serving DA in Queens County History. The event was held in the US Open Club at the Tennis Center in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Concluding the event, Perception created a video highlighting the Judge’s accomplishments throughout his service to the people of the state of New York.

Noah Todd was an integral part of the Perception team. He Directed photography on the interviews, edited the film, integrated graphics, mixed audio, and color corrected for final delivery to Blue Ray DVD. The film was presented on a close circuit high definition system installed specifically for the event.

The film captures the broad history of Judge Brown’s service by mixing interviews of past and present colleagues with historical photographs and narration. Some of the interviews include Former Mayor Ed Koch, Former Mayor David Dinkins, Former Supervising Judge of the Appellate Division 2nd Dept. Milton Mollen, Former Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau, Former President Bill Clinton, Former Assistant Director of the FBI New York James Kallstrom, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, The current DAs of Brooklyn, Staten Island, Manhattan, and the Bronx. After noting his achievements and history the video moves into interviews with Assistant DAs who have worked for the Judge as well as his family for a look at the man behind the accomplishments. We come to understand what a genuine and special person Richard Brown is and why his accomplishments and leadership are so highly regarded.
