It’s not my best video work, but it’s serviceable, and the talent was top-notch. What moved me about this story was the barely spoken relationship between Lucky the Belgian Malinois and his handlers. Just listen to the way Staff Sgt. Gerald Martinez talks to Lucky as he’s running him through the obstacle course. The way Tech. Sgt. Levi Wilson wishes he could adopt Lucky. This dog has seen far scarier situations than I ever will, but he’s had good people taking care of him.
I had planned to use Dipity, which I’ve heard good things about. But when I created an account, I didn’t see how to manually build a timeline. At least with the free account. I saw a lot of auto-update ability tied into other media accounts (YouTube, Flickr, RSS feeds). But I wanted to add bullets as far back as 1890. I didn’t have a Google account back then. The reporter had learned about Time Glider while at a Knight Digital Media Center multimedia seminar, so I decided to try it. Check out the result, then let’s go to the bullet points. 07.14.09 Tags: Brent King, National Veterans Wheelchair Games, Spokane, veterans Filed under: Reflections, Self-promotion, Video, Work
Last week I found the time and inspiration to produce a new video. The National Veterans Wheelchair Games were coming to Spokane, and I decided I’d find an angle. Here’s where media relations people are your friends. At the official games site, somebody had helpfully prepared bios of Spokane-area athletes who would be competing. A lot of these guys – and they were all guys – were competing for the first time. But I noticed one who had been to the games before and seemed to be pretty active in the veterans community. When I called up Brent King, of Cheney, he was happy to work with me. Check out the almost-finished* product below, then keep reading for why I’m not happy with it. » Continue reading My own toughest critic: Advancing the National Veterans Wheelchair Games 04.06.09 Tags: Browne's Addition, community, construction, demolition, E.J.

I guess it was the itch to shoot something fun that made me volunteer to work Saturday. In exchange I got a chance to cover the demolition of a duplex that had been cramping the style of a historic mansion in my neighborhood. The video is below. Here’s a link to Shawn Vestal’s story on the event. Continue past the video for a couple observations on the assignment. 02.11.09 Tags: Abraham Lincoln, Colin Mulvany, Final Cut Pro, Jesse Tinsley, Lincoln bicentennial, Lincoln statue, Mike Prager, Multimedia, Spokane Filed under: Self-promotion, Work
Last week I worked with reporter Mike Prager to put together a slideshow on Spokane’s Abraham Lincoln Statue. The news peg was Lincoln’s bicentennial, which Spokane will be observing with gusto this week. We had a number of historical photos, and photographer [...] |
