Article concerning the 4th PSYOP Group’s “All the World’s a Stage” spot, included under the “Video Clips” section of this page. From the article:
“Col. Chris Stangle, commander of 4th PSYOP Group, told Task & Purpose on Friday that the video was created in-house, both as a recruitment effort but also to literally show people what they can do — part of psychological operations is creating persuasive media. Stangle said that the artist behind the video tailored it a bit after iconic horror film JAWS, where the filmmakers showed restraint in actually showing the shark. Instead, viewers knew it was lurking just below the surface.”

“[Jason] Kinney, who was a real JTAC instructor at Fort Irwin, called us and said, ‘Hey, you guys have got to come out and see what we actually do,’” Eubank recalls. “So we went out there and stayed for two weeks, calling in 9-lines to F-35s. So that changed how we looked at everything, including the script. We met real drone operators, and we just scrapped how we had written the initial film. We started over.”

Dye says his “personal payday occurred,” while training actors for the HBO series The Pacific,
“when actor John Seda, who portrays Manila John Basilone in the miniseries, sought me out at the end of the final field exercise. “You know, Skipper,” he said, “that thing—Semper Fidelis—I get it now. Thanks. And I won’t let the Marine Corps down.” He didn’t, and neither did the hundreds of people behind and before the cameras on The Pacific.”
