Guardian video/vlog#4

This week's vlog is a bit of a cheat. I've done a piece for today's Guardian and it has a video to go with it - although for some reason the video is not yet appearing on their web site. Am trying to discover why. Anyway, I'm posting it here too as this week's videoblog.

It features:
Friendly Fire cockpit video - The Sun (click on ‘see moment brits were hit’ in right hand menu.)

Red Hot Rails - San Jose Mercury News

Travis Fox's Darfur report - Washington Post

Challenge Lup - The Sun

Daily Telegraph

New York Times

Vlog#2

My second effort in the, er, vlogosphere is now available.

Have had some technical problems with the compression, but got there in the end, I hope.

I'll come back to add the links to the clips I've used in the piece shortly.

More feedback gratefully accepted.

I was planning to get to the AOP video conference tomorrow, but have to go to Paris to interview a supermodel instead. Such a pity.

In US newspapers, there's a growing band of what-were-once-called-photographers who are seriously exploring the video jungle. They're known as visual journalists now and many of them are pioneering the transition from still to moving images on their newspapers' web sites.
I've just discovered the Newspapervideo blog of Chuck Fadely, from the Miami Herald - who also runs a forum for like-minded photographers. Both are great places to go for people like me still finding their way at the fringes of the rainforest. Here's his latest post - which has a couple of interesting examples of editing tips: NewspaperVideo: Who says web video has to be short?
