ESPN excels in documentary videography
Even though The Journey of Richard Jensen is almost a year old, I still watch it every time I need video inspiration. Everything about this story is stellar – the storyline, the edits, the videography … My advice to you: look no further than ESPN for excellence in video journalism.
I know that 16 minutes of video is asking a lot of viewers, but I guarantee that if you start watching this story, you will finish it. It sucks you in as you become invested in the story. If you haven’t taken the time to watch “The Journey of Richard Jensen,” make sure to do so now:
Also, for even more inspiration, check out this 2007 story, “Ray of Hope”, on the UNC mascot who was killed. This piece gets me every time.
