Ultimately how to plan, report, shoot, write and present digital stories and be always conscious to put the user in charge of the media experience is what will define those who understand the new medium’s potential.

Funny that, depending on whom I am training and at what venue - I find that the video literacy (Sequences, nat sound, vox pops, crossing the line, etc) is still a foreign language and strange new concept. Seems everywhere small-town editors are hoping for miracles with reporters carrying RCA ‘Wonder’ cams.

So far to go to get them to the conversation you were having here about the potential for cross-platform visual literacy. I love that talk, but find I can truly have it with very few peers on the planet these days and trust they know exactly what you and I know it to be. Got to keep breaking the silos down wherever we can.

I mean . . . “Web video is not Television!”
