If you live in Mad City, or follow UW athletics, you know Bucky Badger. You’ve seen his antics at football games and other events. You’ve admired his endurance on hot September Saturdays as he does push-ups in concert with the score.

But go backstage with the furry college ambassador, and you see what a consummate pro he really is. In preparation for a major epilepsy awareness event, Bucky starred in a video about the prevalence of epilepsy.

Without breaking character, Bucky listened carefully to Dale from Tilt Media. With every shot, he hit his marks, pantomimed his emotions, and did everything possible to make the project a success.

Impressed by the badger’s stage presence, Dale and I started calling him One-Take Bucky.
