iPhone Video Journalism
Posted on May 12th, 2012 Written on travelbug's blog
As you may already know, Michael's upcoming book covers the exciting world of iPhone video and how much it empowers us to get out there and tell great stories. I for one, am totally onboard with this concept, and it's the reason that all of my videos made for this school were done with as little equipment as possible, sometimes with a Canon Powershot (Mexico Travel video), sometimes with a mini-camcorder about the size of my hand (Small kids with Big Dreams) and oftentimes with my iPhone (Art o
After Effects for Video Journalists
Posted on March 19th, 2012 Written on travelbug's blog
So, you've shot your 7 sequences using the 5-shot method of some great characters in a compelling story and your footage is just bursting at the seams, ready to leap out of your camera and onto the screen. Now what? If you're like me, you don't have a lot of money for an expensive camera, but you'd still like to add polish to your video to make it as professional-looking as possible. If only there was just one piece of software that worked on both Mac and PC and allowed you to edit your video, i
Following your bliss vs. Paying the bills
Posted on October 5th, 2011 Written on travelbug's blog
Joseph Campbell once said "Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be." This philosophy has rung true more than once in my career, so when I discovered NYVS back in May, I knew that if I devote whatever spare time I had to this new passion, some day these new doors would blow wide open.
So, every day after work, I'd head straight home to watch the latest lessons, list my shots, learn more about my camera, and go out and shoot. On weeke
The Magic of Editing
Posted on August 7th, 2011 Written on travelbug's blog
After watching so many videos here on NYVS, I knew this trip to Mexico would be a perfect time to put these lessons to work. The question was: "What story do I want to tell?"
Is this video going to be a guided tour through the Mayan Riviera?
A five day itinerary in video form?
Is it going to focus on a specific adventure?
Will it be about a certain personality I happen to meet during my journey?
To prepare, I wrote down specific shots I'd be looking for and questions I might ask along the way, a
What's the Big Idea? Make it Small.
Posted on June 26th, 2011 Written on travelbug's blog
As a newbie video journalist, it's tempting to pull out my camera and shoot everything in sight. To resist this temptation, I ask myself "What's the story you want to tell?" Answering that is easy when I'm shooting something instructional like how to make cookies, or how to get around in the city, but what do I shoot when taking a trip to some place exotic, like Bali or Cancun? Do I cover all of the restaurants we eat at? The many beach activities we do? The hotels we stay at? All the different
