New pkg I shot and edited yesterday on a local high school girl going to compete in nationals for clay shooting. Love sports packages as I always have a little bit more fun with them. Anyway, I tried a few things like leaving her mic'd up to get some natural sound and changing my interview...

This is one of the first actual breaking news type pkg's I've done in awhile so I decided to post here. Story is on a wildfire out here in West Texas burning out of control. Looking for tips on how to make it better. Mic-ing people up with the lav and move around to get good creative shots with...

Hello all. Back for critiques! We only have linear tape to tape editors at my station but since this is a sports story the sports director let me use his laptop to edit it on so it's my first non-linear package. I think it turned out pretty good but would love to hear y'alls take on it. It's a...

Any photogs or chiefs here that are currently in/recently have been in the Austin market? Looking for any info or direct contacts to any stations in the area. Please PM me, thanks!

It's been a while since I posted and I'd like to post something with a little more video in it but this is the best I've got. We put this together in about 30 minutes in the sat truck before our 6 o'clock live shot. Just seeing what you guys like or don't like and what could have been done...

Hello guys and gals. First off I hope I am posting this in the correct section of the forum, if not please feel free to move it. Now, it's been awhile since I've posted but I have been lurking around the board almost daily reading critiques and learning tips and tricks just trying to constantly...

Have a new story we just shot yesterday that was actually uploaded to our website so I'm able to post. Rare for our 10 o'clock stories. I tried to shoot this one more by the books with more sequences and steady shots and whatnot. I personally think it turned out well and would like to know what...

So I finally got a few packages uploaded in order to post them online for critique. These are a few packages from my save tape I've aquired over the last few months. The subject matter for all of them is pretty light but that's about par for our market. Feel free to comment on any or all of...

I was wondering how important it is to have big breaking news stories on your demo reel. I'm still pretty green but like to always be thinking ahead. Here in market 10,000 big breaking news is pretty rare so I have very little of it to put on a reel. I do, however, have lots of what I guess you...

We do this thing every week called Teacher Tribute and I've done the last 4 or 5 and am assuming I'll be doing most of them for awhile so just thought I'd try to get some thoughts on my work and pointers for the future since all pieces will be pretty similar. This is my latest one. I just...

Hey guys, I'm back with round 3 to get some new feedback. Now a disclaimer off the bat: a lot of this stuff is not my doing. I needed some new pointers though to know where to go from here and we actually had a little big of time so I got to do a little bit more. I did not shoot any of the club...

Iraqi Refugees pkg Hello, I'm back for another round of critiques! Just a rookie, been photoging now for about 3 months so I need all the pointers I can get from the vets. This was a very interesting piece that we shot in an hour or so. Admittedly the story is the much more interesting part of...

http://www.ktxs.com/newsroom/newsclips/AISD_enrollment.wmv http://www.ktxs.com/newsroom/newsclips/hendrick_project_2010.wmv My thursday and friday packs. Moreso the first one because I only shot about half the video on the 2nd one and the other half was file. I posted about 3 weeks ago and one...

http://ktxs.com/newsroom/newsclips/arbitron_ratings.wmv This is my second package I have done. Have been working as a photog for KTXS news in Abilene about 3 weeks. I transfered over from the production department working as a PA. We edit on ancient beta machines since we are still not tapeless...
