I appreciate your work ethic, but the videos are visually weak. I don't think you're using the medium wisely. Melanie is a fine reporter, but I'd like to see more voiceover, more b-roll. I'd like to see the video shooters break away from the reporter to visually (and with audio) dissect the scene before them. And I'd like to see more natural sound, a few seconds with no narration, to allow the viewer to digest information. I visited the York News Times video site.

Most of the videos are, as you stated, 2-3 minutes long. The numbers differ though when you look at how long it takes us to make the videos. We usually spend 10-15 minutes shooting the video and I usually spend 15-30 minutes editing the video. In breaking news situations, like car accidents, we are generally shooting photos as well. We probably average getting a 2-3 minute report and 100 photos onto our site in less than an hour.” [...] [...] York News-Times “This year alone, we (3 staff) have produced over 450 videos which have received over 120,000 views.
