I unpacked a box of equipment last Monday that ushers in an exciting change in my profession. Over $5,600 worth of video gear arrived and with it a new way of telling news stories other than still pictures and words.
It was with nervous excitement that myself, Kelly Gillin, Kathryn Stevens, Christine Pratt, Rachel Schleif and Steve Maher traveled to Yakima to attend a workshop on elementary video gathering and editing and we came away thrilled with a new way of getting information out to our readers and web users.
So it came that my first video assignment and training was last Tuesday at the Wenatchee Valley Senior Center during tap dance lessons. I spent over four hours editing the 53 minutes of raw material into three minutes of video. I hope you enjoy learning about subjects and events in our community in this new way for us.
