Andrew Nelson commented on Don Himsel's group 'Video, slideshow and audio critique'

Web 2.0 has so many tools that are ready off the shelf. I like to mix up how to show photos. For a recent quick hit, I turned to animoto.com to feature a neighborhood field day. The photos were taken with my point and shoot. It was easy to go from...

Andrew Nelson replied to Ryan Mercer's discussion 'iPhone as a video, photo resource?' in the group Video, slideshow and audio critique

Ryan, Thanks for your question. Yes. Both the pictures and the audio were taken by my iPhone. I may have even cropped the pictures using an app. I want to use the iPhone more for these type of things.

Andrew Nelson replied to Ryan Mercer's discussion 'iPhone as a video, photo resource?' in the group Video, slideshow and audio critique

I used my iPhone for pictures and voice recorder as part of my news blog. I was pleased with the quality of the recording, which was taken in a loud Chick-fil-A eatery. I edited the sound with Audacity and matched it with photos on iMovie. I coul...

Did it work? What would have made it a bit better? New tools and techniques require field practice and newsroom prioritization. Get some feedback on the steps you took and the final product. Make New Media not only work but work well.

Don't know if you're still looking, Jeff, but Kevin MacLeod provides the absolute best royalty free music. Just credit him and throw him a few bucks once in a while if you can. I use his stuff almost exclusively unless I've got audio I've recorded...

Tried a general blog item and three postings within the group, but only got a couple of bites. Probably the wrong venue for open government, but I was hoping to hear back from some people who were doing some interesting stuff on the Web or with multimedia. Live and learn ...

I love the fact that you work for the Bulletin - weren't you studying to be a priest at some point? Very circular. I'll pass on your regards to Corene - We're cool here in Maine - 2 little boys. I'll get you her photoblog URL so you can see just how freakin' cute they are ....!

If I get an email or a text message that lets me know someone I know has asked a question (whether posed just to me or to a whole group of people including me), I'll go look at it. But unprompted? Never. It wouldn't occur to me.

I ran my first half marathon this February in Hampton and am aiming to run a whole one at the end of the summer. Running a 10K out in Holyoke this weekend.

If I had gotten an email when you posted the slideshow question, I would have seen your name and wanted to respond. Just as I did with your comment... I got an email when you commented, not when you questioned... perhaps a failure of the tool. Facebook or LinkedIn would have sent me a notification both situations, I think... Hey, how's life?

As you can see from our Web site and the broad participation of staffers on these pages, we've made a strong commitment to the online/multimedia side of the business, thanks primarily to the talents of people like Ernesto Burden on the digital media side, and Damon Kiesow and Don Himsel in the newsroom. As the editor at the time, I had the sincere pleasure of getting out of the way and allowing Damon and Don to do their thing. Best management decision I ever made.
