I totally forgot about this. I put together a audio slide show for the photographs from 2007 from the photographers at where I work. Please check it out. I work with some awesome photographers!

I guess I can put TV work on my resume now.

The high school football preview promo I did last week at ThisWeek was loved by upper management so much they decided to get some commercials on local TV stations. I had to rework it down to 15 seconds and promote a different product, but the basic idea is the same.

I also had to change the heartbeat sound to comply with legal use. The previous sound effect didn't allow television commercial.use.

The video is finally up for the ThisWeek Community Newspapers Central Ohio Football Preview. It was something I put together as I was learning to use the video camera and Final Cut Pro.

It seems as if as soon as I say I'm going to make myself put more content on this blog that inevitably something comes up to slam that idea down for a bit.

Late last week I was informed I was doing a video piece and going out and shooting and putting something together.

I'm all for video. It's where newspapers are heading and where they can help keep themselves lucrative and breaching the new edge of media. In the end this knowledge will make me more marketable and useful. So, I decided a while back that I was going to submerge into and hope that I would be able to come up for a breath and at some point.

So I put pressure and on myself to learn final cut pro and put something together by the end of my three day weekend. I shot a football scrimmage Friday night and spent the entire weekend immersing myself into the video world. I ate and slept, but I wanted to give it my best shot right up front. Produce something that would show what the photo department was capable of given the right equipment and time (and a bit of direction).

At the end of three day weekend I had a 35 second promo spot for the ThisWeek Community Newspapers Central Ohio Football Preview tab. I'm happy to say it was well received by upper management.

The final piece took way too much time to produce, but it wasn't fully about the end product as it was about the path getting there. I'll upload the video to the website in the next day or two. I need to veg out now. I've been putting in extra hours at work and I'm feeling like if I take on another task my head will melt.

The start of Friday night football is tomorrow, so I need to rest up for that too.
