- Bio
- I'm a videographer at heart, but became a journalist by accident... about 7 years ago. Not that that's a bad thing. I love what I do and even more so, I love sharing what I learn with people who care enough to pay attention.
Long story short, I focus on web video, multimedia and the overall online experience of people who visit our site. I also lead a newsroom-wide multimedia training program at the Ventura County Star, sharing tips I've picked up either on my own or from other great minds.
Getting people to buy into video was the easy part. I guess my next step will be to get a few of our reporters blogging. And I suppose that means I'll have to start blogging too at some point.
If only time didn't move so fast.

Tag-teaming a big story
Today was an interesting day for the newsroom at VenturaCountyStar.com. There was a shooting at a local junior high school involving two students. Two reporters and a photographer were dispatched as soon as the call came in. One of the reporters took a video camera.
For the text story, both reporters called story details as they became available. Within 45 minutes of getting to the scene, I was out the door to do a quick exchange of video tapes and sd cards (for the photographer).… Continue

Getting started with web video
This site seems to have a pretty good mix of both seasoned online producers and beginners. I think I'll start things off by giving the beginners some simple advice for getting started with web video. In subsequent posts I'll tackle things like storytelling, shooting, equipment, editing tricks and whatever else comes to mind.
I am by no means the man with all the answers, but I have been doing web video long to have some things to share. If I should happen to miss or overlook anything,… Continue
