Respecting the Snacker: Video Producer’s Perspective

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Audio is not video without pic­tures: respect the form and video
Respect the form: move­ment, rule of thirds, watch other’s videos, adapt
Respect the time of the viewer: what is the story you are try­ing to con­vey?
When pro­du­cing, have a time budget in mind.
Short form, edit­ing is OK.

Thanks jjpro­jects for the ping.

Beginning of Gonzo Video Journalism

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

A unique pro­gram on the ABC 10 years ago, John Safran ruled.
“Race Around the World” pit­ted ama­teur video­graph­ers against each other, as they traveled around the world get­ting stor­ies.
Han­dic­ams, simple edit­ing and excel­lent stor­ies pre-dated the intraweb pseudo-stars doing long-form inter­views or strap­ping a cam­era to their head.
Go have a look at John Safran’s work:
In 1997, […]
