Over at his own blog, Not News contributor Earl Green has a post breaking down one of his video editing do it yourself experiments. Earl’s been doing TV editing and postproduction work for years now, but he recently managed to acquire some solid equipment for himself. It’s been a lot of fun for me to watch him try and take his game to new levels. I’ve always absorbed behind the scenes books and documentaries like a sponge, but I’ve never taken it to that next step and actually tried to do it, even as a lark. But I do find it amazing the way that technology can make things like video production and broadcasting a potentially living-room-based process. Then again, it’s also let me broadcast my own scribblings to the world, so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, eh?
