I'll be looking forward to the coming series. <br><br>Are you on the road with him, or is he mailing you (or emailing) his footage? Seems cumbersome. When I did my road trip vlogging, I edited myself on my lappy in motels and campgrounds and then uploaded at coffee shops... not easy, either, but... <br><br>Also, I was interested that the first travel episode looks very "swimmy" like he's using a super slow shutter speed.

I worked from home yesterday for the project, and could not pick him out of a police line up.... And since I only worked on this "episode one" and not the first intro piece, we've never been in the same room. It's kind of funny, really.<br><br>The process is that he's shooting, then editing down the shots and scripting. Then, after script approval, recording a voiceover and uploading that to an ftp site. I then grab the files and edit - eventually showing a rough draft to the folks at the Times, getting comments on that and finalizing and posting for upload.<br><br>We were able to confer by IM, which was really helpful and leaves open the option of changes if the material needs it.<br><br>As to the look on the first one, again, I didn't work on that one so my guess is that the concept was to keep his identity secret and the slow shutter was the solution.<br><br>You know -- in case he has to fight crime while finding travel bargains....<br><br>It will be interesting to see how the summer goes. I think the main challenge will be finding the really interesting characters out there in the world. I'll be really happy to see that happen.<br><br>tfTed Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07958815370739561507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33878108.post-6148687811584770812007-05-24T06:20:00.000-07:002007-05-24T06:20:00.000-07:00Cool!

I mean, you can google the dude and find photos of him if you were really sleuthy. ;) I guess since he's already famous (thanks, NYT!) he wants to make non-biased judgments about the places he visits. Hmm...<br><br>Anywho, keep up the good work! I'll be watching! And I subscribed to the blog, so I'll know what you're up to in the future! :)Mark Schoneveldthepovertyjetset.comnoreply@blogger.com
