PRINT REPORTER: Hey Joe. We have a young lady coming into the newsroom in about an hour so a photog can get some pictures of her in the studio. Can you do something with video when she comes in?

ME: Uh, yeah I guess I could (thinking I have no idea what the story is, who this person is that’s coming in or what type of video would be best, let alone what the basic 5-Ws and H would be).

REPORTER: Great. I’ll bring her into the video studio as soon as she’s done in the photo studio.

So, to make a long story short, this is as creative as I could get in a blank white studio with no lights on short notice with little understanding of the subject.

This is ONE camera, FOUR takes of the same monologue and a LOT of editing. Everyone loved it.
