Here’s a fairly quick and easy way to make a “steady” cam rig for a small DV camera from PVC pipe and a few other items for only $15.

The final session was very powerful. We heard from our third former ASNE president. We started with Tim McGuire on Day 1 who encouraged us to make the most of our training at ASU and to take it seriously. He really set the tone. In the middle we heard from Rick Rodriguez who discussed the [...]
Today was deadline day and just like any deadline day with your students, it was mania. Every technology problem we could have, we did have. Pictures were CMYK, not RGB, the server went down for an hour, video didn’t want to upload, links didn’t link and more. Last minute, deadline insanity and I think we [...]
Not every day is 12 hours. Today was a little easier. We focused on online publications and video today. The beginners learned iMovie, while the advanced students worked on Final Cut Pro. I leanred a lot today about where things are and how they work in Final Cut. I’m looking forward to making the migration [...]
We got to see the ASU future home of the journalism school – it rocks! They will have one of the best multimedia integration labs anywhere. They are building a new dorm, just for journalism students right next to the new j-school. The students will live and learn in downtown Phoenix, right next to the [...]

We trudged through ethics and opinion writing this morning. Then we had some great training in InDesign from the [...]
Yesterday we went to the Arizona Republic. This is one of the papers that “get it” about multimedia. They are truly going big online. It was inspiring to see a newspaper that really understands that the future of journalism is not ink on dead trees.
The staff was extreamely friendly and helpful. They allowed us to [...]
Today was a pretty good day. I know I’ve said that at least once before, but I’m feeling more acclimated to the heat – walked about two blocks in the 3 pm direct sun and it didn’t even bother me. I am also getting used to the 12 hour days. They do work us hard. [...]
