A lens-eye view

It's most certinaly the worst feeling in the world when you have a lovely blog entry typed up, Mozilla crashes, and you're left with a blank slate when you restore your window. Alas, I currently harbor that pang in the pit of my stomach. Thus, I shall be brief!


Today in class we had a speaker from The New York Times demonstrate and discuss the videography industry in today's media. Now, what I had previously viewed as simply sitting idly by filming events has manifested itself more as actually creating them. Of course, I'm not saying that it was staged but a fair amount of coaxing and reiteration is necessary to get an adequate and discriptive answer to questions from people who are instinctivly nervous and tight-lipped, especially if background narration is a no-no. It was thrilling listening to him because he was so genuinely passionate about his work and his career that he picked up so late in life. As a videographer, you don't just film the action, you're a part of it.
