Multiple Locations Make For A Better Story

Take a look at this piece.

It was reported, shot, edited and produced by Katy Solt, and MMJ who took the 5-day Bootcamp last week.

It's a great story about where video as a business is going (note to all you video makers), but it's also a great demonstratoin of shooting at multiple locations with multiple characters for the same story.

She coudl have stopped with the couple running their exercise video business from home, that was interesting enough, but because she works alone as an MMJ (and shoot a 3:1 ratio) she was able to get over to the home of a subscriber to the video channel and get 'the other side of the story'.

They intercut nicely and give another dimension to the piece.

Well done!  

And a great insight into where the whole business of TV is probably headed.

This morning, I went out early to buy my copy of the weekend FT — a great newspaper, by the way. I was a bit surprised to see that my regular newsstand, on 6th Avenue and 55th Street, had exactly 3 newspapers for sale — one copy of Baron’s and two copies of The New York Post. That was it. No FT, no NY Times, no Washington Post, no… nothing.
