Bootcamp Day 13: Mission Accomplished

First-ever Justin Gibbs Marcus Shorter Video is in!

Marcus and I are proud of our first video.  We shot over 30 minutes of video and then edited it down to just over one minute.  I don’t think we will be winning a Peabody Award with the video, but for our first go around we are pretty proud.

Interview with Susan Zirinsky

Interview with Susan Zirinsky

All morning was spent editing and then uploading our video to YouTube.  I wish I had some exciting details to give, but I really don’t.  The result of the editing is a source of great pride for me, but the editing itself would be a little dry to explain.  I will say that Marcus and I work together well.  It was great getting to know Marcus better.

After lunch our group did a Skype interview with CBS producer Susan Zirinsky.  Zirinsky is an AU grad and she gave our class great information.  Before talking with Zirinsky our group watched the special CBS News and Zirinsky produced for Walter Cronkite’s death.

Zirinsky talked about her career, the advances women have made in the media and her international experiences.

Also, I think we all need to take a tutorial from the Harpo staff because Oprah’s people are the only people on Earth who know how to correctly Skype an interview.

  1. Good job on this video. I’d love to read a bit more about what you went through and learned as you brought this video to life.
