EmailYesterday we posted a story about the importance of audio in your stories. One problem that people often encounter is that they know they want to put in some ambient environment sounds or sound effects and either forgot to record it themselves, or can't find rights free material on the web. Enter World Wide Sound Effects!
World Wide Sound Effects is one person traveling around the world capturing interesting sounds and environments and wants you to use them in your work for free. Sounds from a marketplace, to a highway, washing machines, helicopters and much, much more.
When you are putting a video together the audio tracks are an essential piece to building the world of your video. Sounds surround your viewer and help transport them away from their screen and into the world of your video. So it is very important to make sure that you take this part of your video seriously. Ideally, you would have recorded ambient sound or any effects you want to you when you are on location or out in the field, but sometimes it doesn't come out right, or you just forget. You can always search the web but you never know what you are going to find, and what you can use for free.

The idea of news is really a 19th-century phenomenon, driven first by newspapers, and then by electronic media which brought us radio, then TV and now the web. Now, it seems, we are headed back to a world without news. Not because the technology is not there, but rather because, increasingly, people are no longer interested in news, at least in the way it is packaged now.
What TV News Could Be

When television was invented in the 1930s, no one knew what TV news was supposed to look like. The medium had never existed before, and so, like Gutenberg half a millennium, prior, the first creators of TV news had to fall back on a medium with which they were familiar, and that was radio.
