A Whole VJ Category? Really?

[Michaelrosenblum]

It is with a great deal of trepidation that I wander back into the realm of b-roll.net, based on my last experience, albeit 9 years ago. In that time, a great deal has changed and I think it is fair to say that the VJ concept is now fairly well established and accepted. We are, for example, currently working with Spectrum1 in Los Angeles, a 24-hour local news channel owned by, well , Spectrum, which is the Charter-Time/Warner merger. We also (on my own website) list several hundred VJ jobs at stations across the country, as well as for a whole range of private companies. I am happy to post them here, I you are interested.

Hello Michael... Welcome back to b-roll.net! We're a little dusty in here - it's been years since I was even in here poking around. Hoping we can get discussions going again. Feel free to share clips and discussions... When you're making a post, there is a three dot drop down that allows you to insert media. Put the youtube URL and it embeds in your post.

Again welcome...

The MMJ model is the final nail in the coffin for TV news.

I can’t believe I missed this last year...

TV Shooter and I were just talking about this a few weeks ago and he said MR was right, it just took about a decade longer to accomplish it. The handycams and cell phones have permeated and taken over in places I never thought they would. From a craft standpoint they have destroyed the industry. From a consumer standpoint, we have bigger and better displays at home now than ever before and even our cell phones that we carry with us 24/7 have high definition HDR displays, yet the picture quality of the content being cranked out by these little cameras and shown is a lot of times worse than what was being done 20+ years ago. But it’s accepted now by “the bosses”, because it’s cheaper. Not because it’s better in any other way, but 100% because it’s cheaper.
