Real collaboration. I agree with your point about scripting too. It is a challenge. But it was satisfying to see the moment when those people who had been shocked by the lack of script saw how the pictures and script could work together to really tell a story. Lenslinger

Writing a script for a ninety second TV piece is indeed limiting, but it can be done with finesse and verve. I invite any print person to give it a go sometime, preferably before dismissing what we do in TV as child's play. Shouldn't be too much to ask. I also enjoyed your thoughts on photogs versus reporters, In TV, some of the best equipped people to do both jobs are the veteran photogs, who - not afraid of the technoogy - can make up for their lack of writing polish with good footage, clear audio and a bit of direction from friendly scribe types. It should be interesting to see how this all shakes out, both in print and TV. Excellent analysis, Andy.

Amongst all the talk of lighting, framing and interviewing, writing still remains important. As print journalists get deeper into video, writing and story boarding will play a vital role in quality online video. The stories came out, on average at between 3-400 words. The script, I told them, should be a minute - around 150 words. This caused horror. We were wasting 200 words.
