Another from the church near Hampton
Old Church
A month ago or so, Mark Coddington and I went to Hampton to photograph the old Zion Lutheran Church (check out the article). We arrived early, as is my habit, so I started to photograph this neat old church. Tin covered walls and ceiling. A nice altar piece and a really cool curved balcony. Little did I know that the renovation and fundraiser had nothing to do with the church, but the church hall. Here’s a shot of the church that hasn’t seen the light of day.
Where is the line?
I’ve begun working on a video piece that I’m hoping to be able to edit and finish next week. It’s a piece about a local museum and some of the interpretors there in the living history village. All I’m doing is a little who are you and why do you love the museum. I’ll cut this with a bunch of cover video of the people doing their jobs and general shots of people on the grounds and such.
So is this a news piece? Advertorial? Propaganda?
I don’t know. I’m attempting to shed light on the people who work at the facility by attacking the story in a different way. I’m more interested in them than I am in visitors who have shown up and why they paid the admission. To many it’s a labor of love and a job that satisfies them in a way no other task could.
My intent is for news. Time to wait for the bread to come out of the oven. (So to speak.)
A new post.
I covered a conference a couple of weeks ago. It was interesting and really focused on how businesses can use social networking tools in their marketing campaigns. One idea was to use a blog to control your message. You can also use the blog to point to your website, twitter account, facebook, MySpace and all the rest. Pretty crazy once it all starts snow balling. Anyhow the biggest thing for a blog is to always, always, always have new content on the site. If not, people will never come back and you’ve lost customers and revenue.
Amen.

Latest video
My latest video about Palmer High School’s Computer Program has been uploaded. I’m pleased with it. There is some jerky camera work that I didn’t see for some reason, but the audio levels are good and consistent throughout the piece. I’m also getting a little more comfortable with voice over work. I do have to remember though that I should do that sooner in the process than after putting the piece together. My VO was way long for the space I had left for it. I just rewrote it, but that takes time.
Today I’m going to work on a natural sound piece at the horse track. It’s the last day of racing and I want to do a cool piece on the races with quick cuts and good sound. Wish me luck.
