iPhoning It In

just a short group of my iPhone pics this weekend at the NPPA national board meeting.

These pics are not fully representative of all the work and time us board members spent because I was focused on ensuring the live stream functioned. Enjoy!

Video shooting, editing tool kit documents

TJ Mullinax — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:59:53 +0000

For everyone looking for a bit of help with multimedia, shooting video and a good read on audio recording ethics, here are a few documents that I like to provide to folks with questions.

Learning at conferences or workshops are great opportunities, but oftentimes that concentrated learning fades away if it’s not practiced. So I highly recommend to anyone who needs a reference to read these. There are plenty of things to read, watch and learn online, but these I like to provide these to folks for additional layer of context than what can be remembered in a short conference/workshop setting.

Enjoy. (NOTE! I changed a few bits of code on my blog that was preventing some links from working by accident — including the ones below. The links should work now, sorry for the inconvenience.)

Fun in Eugene

Saturday was exhausting but worth every moment of driving between Portland and Eugene – twice. The SPJ Oregon conference was fun to speak at and I hope those who went came away pleased. SPJ is lucky to have Tamara Kent and the good folks at the U of O getting this put together.

I plan to post a few PDFs later from my computer on Monday that includes instruction on audio ethics, final cut editing and a reporters tool kit for shooting video.
