Video is Not Photo

As a photographer, I’m fed so many ads from companies promising to quickly teach me to add video to my workflow. Why shouldn’t I add quick talking head shots onto my headshot session? Other than I would need to learn audio to record a talking head…

When I created the final video for my recording of The Little Mermaid Jr., I spent hours adding closed captions. It made me think that I needed to make a video to showcase what it’s really like to make a video.

I picked University of Missouri-Columbia as the college I wanted to attend because I was sure I wanted to major in broadcast. They owned an NBC affiliate that I did work at for two semesters. But I just didn’t think the broadcast department was as smart as I wanted it to be. So I majored in magazine. But I never let video go, trying to figure out how to use any video features offered on my digital cameras or phones.
