Michael Rosenblum has posted what I feel is a crucial commentary that hasn’t been discussed to any real extent - that of the differences between shooting VJ content for the web as opposed to shooting for traditional broadcast television.
There is a difference and I think it needs to be expounded upon as to what I and other Solo Video Journalists do and why we do it.
I’ve been doing some research on Home Theater PC’s and how it will affect content being viewed and distributed.
We as Solo VJ’s need to come to terms with the fact that, at least here in the states, viewers are going to become even more connected to the Internet, and less to the traditional broadcast venues of content distribution.
The thedvshow.com has posted a link to Streaming Media’s latest article about the increased usage of online video.
Some interesting highlights from the article:
Chuck Fadely, a visual journalist at the Miami Herald, has posted on his blog some statements I feel are inaccurate regarding the amount of money one has to spend to “Do it Right”
Recently I was approached to bring my skills as an Immersive Video Journalist to a series related to the ocean realm being pitched to Chinese National TV. It would entail working in a lean production team that models after the Solo VJ paradigm - one presenter, one producer and myself shooting all content both above and underwater.
