from colin mulvany:
When I first started shooting video, I would get overwhelmed at all the
multi-tasking I had to do--framing, sequencing, monitoring audio,
keeping the camera steady. Once all these things became second nature,
I learned to slow down when shooting. I constantly reminded myself to
use my video camera like I would a still camera. In many ways, I think
still photographers make the best videographers. They already are able
to see moment, have finely honed anticipation skills and understand
composition. When I train a print reporter in video, these are the
skills I have to teach the most.
this month's edition of "the digital journalist" is dedicated to video journalism - definitely worth the morning it's taken me to get through the lengthy articles :) most notable is the personal narrative from colin mulvany over at the spokesman on how his career has carried him from stills to video, and now, sort of, back to stills.
