Brett Akagi
Fear not multimedia, but the elimination of an entire industry
- you’re not alone
- don’t wait to be trained
- failing is okay as long as you make a good attempt
Make friends with good TV News photographers/reporters
- they can offer advice and help in the field
- emulate their good behavior and work habits
- they’re not all evil
The good, the bad, and the ugly – watch TV and multimedia websites
- learn by watching
- develop a critical eye
- steal the good ideas and toss the crap
Break the clique
- bounce ideas off the experienced video storyteller
- get critiques off the experienced video storyteller
- learn from other groups and cultures
Use the tools in your toolkit
- video camera, tripod, microphones, and lights
- still camera
- editing software for video and stills
Meshing video storytelling styles
- content dictates style
- simple approach is always best when starting out
- challenge yourself in using both video and stills for stories
What matters
- ethics (live and work by good ethics and principles)
- journalism (seeking, finding, and presenting the truth)
- excellence (strive for the best product every day)
