Soul Of Athens
By Cliff Etzel • Jun 6th, 2007 • Category: Video JournalismSpent the morning reading David Dunkley Gyimah’s blog and came across an interesting link that has me once again expounding what can be done by those who have the talent to utilize the Solo VJ Paradigm.
David was expounding in his blog post entitled “The New Online Order” and the very last sentence linked to the “Soul Of Athens” website. Various projects are linked throughout the main site and I happened upon this video piece by Bob Sacha.
This is a great example of what can result when a Solo VJ has the skills to pull off a project that meets a high level of professional quality.
The Soul Of Athens Blog highlights what can happen when like minded Solo Video Journalists come together to learn and share their passion for great story telling. This is one of the reasons we, who were former still photojournalists, came to this Solo VJ paradigm in the first place – to tell those stories that no longer get published in print. We bring a greater sense of being there, of participating, of giving our passion to others for the world to see.
This is an example by which we as Solo VJ’s should aspire to attain in our level of competency.
