Become a part of the Solo Video Journalism Revolution.

A single person with a single vision married to inexpensive, lightweight technology. Once this meant a writer and a pencil, a painter with a brush and canvas. Now it means a Solo Video Journalist with a video camera and laptop computer.

Working as a Solo VJ is an entirely new paradigm for independent television and video production for an entirely new world of video content on demand: broadcast, cable, broadband, wireless, cellphone and beyond.

As a one man jack of all trades and master of them all, what solo video journalists do fulfills all aspects from shooting with small format HDV cameras, shooting and reporting all projects and stories, and editing on a laptop in the field or on a full editing suite back at the office.

There are no additional cameramen, soundmen or producers, no on air ‘talent’.  THis style of shooting produces a more real look and feel to the subject matter.

This philosophy, this paradigm, has created a wave of supporters - and detractors.  It doesn’t matter.  The paradigm shift is occurring in the creation of news and documentary content captured on video.  SoloVJ.com targets like minded shooters working in newspaper and freelancers.  The convergence of compact high quality equipment, video content distribution via the web, affordable video editing applications, and combining all of this with resources for training is creating a new generation of video content creators that are pushing the envelope for content being created in unique ways.

Welcome to the new paradigm of solo video journalism for the 21st century.  Adapt or perish - either way, the profession of video journalism is changing.
