Innovative Individuals: Evelio Contreras
Video storytelling is normally a skill that takes months if not years of practice to master. However, Evelio Contreras conquered it the first day he picked up a video camera to cover the Virginia Tech shootings. He is a natural when it comes to videography, and I can attest to his talent after working with him for a year at The Roanoke Times. Regardless if he was producing webcasts, feature vignettes or news videos, he always made a point to add a creative element into his stories. For this reason, I am happy to feature him as this week’s “Innovative Individual.”
Maintaining aspect ratio when exporting stills in Final Cut Pro
One of the downsides to being out of the field for awhile is that you come across problems that you either forgot how to solve or have yet to figure out. Since this is my first attempt at an audio slide show using my Canon HV30 for the audio, I realized that some vital photos were only taken with the video camera while recording audio. Alas, a handy work-around allows you to utilize high-quality video images in your next audio slide show.
