Comments on: You want creativity? Here you go! http://www.jenleereeves.com/2009/05/you-want-creativity-here-you-go/ Sharing my new media thoughts to the world Thu, 29 Jul 2010 04:35:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Ted Arthur http://www.jenleereeves.com/2009/05/you-want-creativity-here-you-go/comment-page-1/#comment-438 Ted Arthur Tue, 26 May 2009 23:34:47 +0000 http://www.jenleereeves.com/?p=517#comment-438 Thanks, Jen! By the way, the video file created on Final Cut Express was not done using preformatted transitions. I synchroed and reset each video movement to match my hand movements. I wish people would understand that I've tried everything (in the traditional sense) to get a job. These extra videos like this one is me trying to do anything extra - thinking outside of just packages. I have no access to a newsroom and I'm not getting paid to do these pieces, but I continue to go out and cover stories that are happening in my hometown. I have just a simple camera. It's all on my website. It is all for the love of the industry. Thanks, Jen! By the way, the video file created on Final Cut Express was not done using preformatted transitions.

But traditional broadcast journalists don't always go out of there way to show off skills. Ted is thinking, he's mixing things up. I want him to work! It's that simple.

I've seen it done before, and it's actually really easy to do with the preformatted video transitions in Final Cut Pro. All he did was film himself grabbing into the air, then adjust the speed of the video transitions that brought in and took out the video and text clips until it matched the speed of his hands.

That kid needs a job. The only journalists I know live here, but I'll spread Ted's gospel. Yeah. That kid needs a job. The only journalists I know live here, but I’ll spread Ted’s gospel.
