Let me Explain...

I deleted my last post. And the photo slide show that went along with it.
Let me explain...
My last post was really cranky. I am not a cranky person but I happened to be horribly sleep deprived and frustrated with the assignment for the week. I didn't know what to cover for a story and I assumed every photo I took and every video I shot would look awesome.
I was dead wrong.
They are horrible pictures and horrible footage, to embarrassing to leave up on the web really. They just had to go.

I'll admit, I'm struggling with the idea of multimedia. I don't think I take terribly good photos and I am very nervous about sticking a microphone in someone's face, which I've yet to do.

It seems like you need the skillz of being a movie maker more than of being a journalist in this field. And I've tried my hand at making movies. My debut, directorial and acting, was called the Alien Menace. It was... not menacing... or plausible...
After that came a string of slasher/monster films. I was always the bad guy, my sister was always the good guy, and everyone always died - every time.

Point is I haven't figured out how to make a multimedia piece yet.

Actually, the point was supposed to be that I deleted my work from last week because it was most heinous.

I'll try harder next time. Promise.
