Check out Michael's review of his new Chinon Bellami HD-1 video camera.

The camera is a full HD digital video camera, except that it looks like an "old-school" Super 8 film camera.  Aside from its novel looks and feel, the camera gives you much more manual control than you get with your smartphone.  The camera has detachable lenses that allow you to change the look of your footage, full focus and apature control, a 1/3-inch, 2.12 mega pixels MOS image sensor and shoots in full 1920 x 1080 HD. The camera operates on two AA batteries and is compatable with many accessories with a hot shoe on top and a tripod plate hole on the bottom.  This camera not only looks cool, but has all the functionality you could want from a digital video camrea. 

Check out more details and buy from Chinon's website.

There is a great deal of concern, well placed, that few people under the age of 30 watch TV news.

Sometimes when you are searching for something, the answer is right before your eyes. For years, I have been looking for a new and powerful way to cover breaking news stories - and now, I think, I've got it.


When we run our video storytelling bootcamps for TV news organizations, our primary focus is on what we call ‘the viewer experience’. It is a given that the journalism is well researched and accurate, but if no one is watching; if there is no ‘audience engagement’ with the story, then you are in fact showing it to no one, which is tragic, and avoidable.
