If you're a mediocre story-teller, you're going to be a BAD multimedia creator. A lot of photographers are and have been "getting away" with less than stellar journalistic skills because they can shoot the hell out of a frame. When it comes to audio and video, that's not enough. Not nearly. That's scares the bejebus out of a lot of people, myself included. As the staff guinea video pig, having the "holes in my game" exposed is scaring the #$#& out of me. However, seeing the very freaking cool things that can be done by joining the AV Club is balancing that out. (Or so I tell myself between shots of Petrone and nervous drags on a bummed Camel...) As the commercial goes... Video camera with Ungodly Learning Curve...$4000 Final Cut Pro with Ungodly Learning Curve....$1200 Book on Final Cut Pro for Ungodly Learning Curve....$50 Chance to possibly go all Soderberg on their asses....priceless. Go forth and conquer...if you can. Here are two dirty little secrets I’ve learned since joining the AV Club:
