But is that enough? A very cool video (via my friend Zach Wise) about a guy who hiked the Appalachian Trail, all 2,200 miles, in 6 months and shot 24 images on film each day. Will you watch 4 minutes of Kevin Gallagher’s 2,200 mile walk? If so, what did you...

We had a difficult assignment in class, cutting a documentary film down to 2 minutes. Imagine cutting 10 movies down to 2.5 minutes. It might have been one of the best moments of the Oscar Telecast last Sunday. Watch it full screen. How did they do it and why does it...

I saw this chart today and like it because it helps quantify what a good (broadcast) story can be.It’s from Bob Kaplitz’s blog Reinventing Local Media. One of the things we’re trying to do in this class is aim for level 3 to level 4...
