Intimacy in Multimedia with UnionDocs

Every storyteller knows that at the heart of a good story is empathy. But getting your interviewee to open up is sometimes easier said than done. Multimedia journalists Marcus Yam (The Home Front), Maisie Crow (Half-Lives: The Chernobyl Workers Now), and Béatrice de Géa (NYT: When illness makes a spouse a stranger) will discuss the delicate balance of getting intimate with your subject, how to navigate boundaries once you’re embedded in someone else’s life, and how they go about achieving a deep level of intimacy. Each guest will each present a multimedia story, discuss their processes, and take questions from the audience.

Adobe Premiere, It’s Damn Good

Editor's note: After seven years working with Apple's Final Cut Pro, we have decided to begin using the Adobe Production Suite. We were early adopters of FCP 7 and considered making the switch to FCP X. In the end, we felt more comfortable with Adobe's product than Apple's FCP X.

Today's post from Tim McLaughlin tells about his experiences editing in FCP X and creating MediaStorm's first project in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Our producers will continue to share their experiences with you on our blog. Also, they'll be posting Premiere shortcuts on a new twitter feed @PrProShortcuts. And stay tuned for the release of a new Post-production Workflow…
