Ian Fisher: American Soldier

Denver Post photojournalist Craig F. Walker tracks Ian Fisher from High School to basic training and finally through a year deployment in Iraq. Spend time with this piece, it offers excellent storytelling, good visuals and great design.

Scene In

The Washington Post describes this feature in the Style section by saying, “The Washington Post’s Alexandra Garcia hits the streets to find out what’s hip around Washington D.C.”

One of the amazing things about this piece is that all the footage and images are shot on the Canon 5D Mark II. The lighting, visuals and audio are vibrant. Go back and watch the episode on Dupont Circle, it shows the strength of the 5D Mark II video capabilities.

Texas Tribune

From the Tribune website….What is The Texas Tribune?

A non-profit, nonpartisan public media organization. Our mission is to promote civic engagement and discourse on public policy, politics, government, and other matters of statewide concern, and we do this in two principal ways.

I spent 45 minutes sifting through the Trib’s site (they refer to themselves as “The Trib” ).  I found the website to be clean, visual, full of good political journalism and well designed for the online reader.

4/Docs

Finally, a cool website all about short documentary films. 4docs.org.uk has some helpful information in their blogs and wiki sections about producing short docs. The site, of course, has a watch section that is full of short documentaries.
