The nail pounding inside, over-powered the nat sound from my outside b-roll. I wish I could have found a better place to do the main interview. I now have placed a pair of reading glasses in my camera case. Hence, I had some decent footage out of focus. The one thing I have grown to hate about my Sony EX-1 is that the auto focus sucks and that trying to focus manually either through the viewfinder or LCD monitor can be a pain. The LCD monitor looks fine but I can’t rely on it for sharpness anymore. My 48-year-old eyes are failing me close up, I really need to start wearing reading glasses when I shoot. I think both videos say pretty much the same thing in the end. I thought about narrating my video, but found my edit of letting the subject tell the story worked better for me this time. It had lots of facts, good b-roll, strong interviews and an engaging voiceover. Again, like my last compare and contrast videos, these stories are approached differently.
#FACEBOOK DAVE ERICKSON SPOKANE TV#
Local TV news (KXLY) produced a story with reporter Dave Erickson and photographer Jerry Swanson. I made sure that they promoted the video from the print story. It turned out that our community news section was doing a cover story for the weekend on the event. The video was posted on our site around 4:30 with ninety minutes to spare in my shift. I started with the main interview with the organizer and quickly built out from there.

I tried to keep as much on the tripod as I could.īy 1:30 pm I was back at the paper unloading my SxS cards into Final Cut.

I shot as much b-roll as I could in the short hour I was there. I grabbed a couple of quick interviews of students and organizers. The Spokane Interstate Fairgrounds was laden with geeky high schoolers that were given the chance to pound nails and drive massive Caterpillar frontend loaders. I figured a little shooting and editing discipline was in order. My videos of late have crept up the time scale, blowing through my three-minute rule by clocking in at five or more minutes each.

That seems to be the trend my friends in TV news like to adhere to. I set my goal of producing a one-minute thirty-second video. It was almost noon and I really didn’t want to be still editing late into the evening. There were going to be 800 kids learning about the construction trades through hands on demonstrations. I found an event that seemed interesting–Construction Career Day for high school students.

It was a slow day in the photo department so I perused through the press releases that clutter up my company email each day. My last video I produced was a self-assignment.
