If you wanna be a jouranalist you gotta do a little research.<BR/><BR/>I actually quit my job as a producer at CBS News and started shooting my own stuff ... in Afghanistan, the Middle East, during the Gulf War for MacNeil/Lehrer, Uganda, Kenya, and lots of other interesting hot spots. Now I don't have the track record Jim has, nor would I claim to, but I think I have earned my credentials. <BR/><BR/>I have a lot of respect for the folks who shoot and shoot well - I am trying to free them from their producers and 'talent', actually. <BR/><BR/>I was, by the way, both the founder and first President of NY Times Television. They were not a consulting client. The Times bought a company I had founded, based on the VJ concept and crafted NY Times TV from it. If you like some of the stuff they do on Times/Discovery... well, thanks. I have also shot and produced several hundred hours for cable, including such shows as Trauma, Life in the ER on TLC.. if you like that one. i have spent many many hours shooting in ERs and the back of ambulances. Trust me. I know how to shoot. But also how see what is coming.Rosenblumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612351287625413020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13148956.post-23308079848754545662007-04-02T11:53:00.000-04:002007-04-02T11:53:00.000-04:00Dammit, G, you are totally going to blow the smoke...Dammit, G, you are totally going to blow the smokescreen off my backup unemployment plan! After two uncons, I walked away pretty convinced that I could make up crap just as well as the next "consultant," and I'll have the fud to back it up. It's like the Oklahoma land run out there!Aerodadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01691834716333967309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13148956.post-50948921791426353192007-04-02T11:20:00.000-04:002007-04-02T11:20:00.000-04:00Now, I don't begrudge Michael for making money, ev...Now, I don't begrudge Michael for making money, even lots of it. Hell, I want to! He and I found common ground and in the grander scheme of things, that is good. A lot of what he preaches is well...TRUE. It's worth noting that folks like you and me are entering this space and new media luminaries will do well to NOT to tear down old media (especially the grunts) to build themselves up. Shelly Palmer's words are qutie apt here.<BR/><BR/>"We attack each other’s ideas but we respect and appreciate the people behind them."<BR/><BR/>Just an observation on your post here...as a general rule, the accepted practice with those anton bauer brick batteries is NOT to use them as a bludgeoning device. Ole skool NABETS usually just "turn" with camera on shoulder. Sometimes that battery accidentally whacks someone. Shame those cameras are so big, they create quite a blind spot.newmediajimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357859297913620787noreply@blogger.com
