My first video at Roanoke.

Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized

Today I was reminded how small the community is we work in.

First I read Daniel Sato’s blog and one of his recent posts where he talks about the same idea of this small community. He happens to be interning in Saint Cloud, MN. The paper I delivered as a kid. (Nothin beat the days my dad would drive me around and I’d act like Barry Sanders with each stop servin’ as a new down. I’d jump over snow drifts aka linemen to get the paper delivered.) Daniel knows Kainaz who goes to grad school with me at Ohio University.

Later on I was watching the videos Mindy McAdams linked to on her blog about newspapers shooting video. In Chuck Fadley’s portion of the presentation he talked about The Roanoke Times and their use of video; the paper I happen to be interning at. He was talking about the different approaches papers take to doing newspaper video and used Roanoke as an example. Seeing as I’m here for the summer I have my own perspective on things so I was curious to hear his critique.

Before I’m done watching the videos I tab out(short attention span) to check Google Reader and find Chuck had updated his blog with an apology about what he said in his presentation about Roanoke and their use of video.

It also happens my first story/video for the paper ran yesterday on Tony, the circus clown. I wrote the article too. Scary I know.

Here’s the video (turns out you can’t embed Brightcove videos with Wordpress so instead click the image below to see the video):

    Wow.

    Any idea roughly how much time you spent on (a) photos; (b)writing; and (c) putting the video together?

    Tim — nice job on the video.

    He was talking about the different approaches papers take to doing newspaper video and used Roanoke as an example. Seeing as I’m here for the summer I have my own perspective on things so I was curious to hear his critique.

    I’d like to hear more about your perspective if you wish to share …

    I couldn’t understand some parts of this article , but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
