In the fall of 2007, I was part of a pilot project by Gannett to train select print reporters and editors (as well as some photographers) on using multimedia to better illustrate our stories. It was a weeklong immersion that included guidance on how to film using a pricey Sony video camera along with a light kit, tripod, microphones and related equipment. I also learned how to edit the video on Avid. This picture was part of a staged "news event" in the back parking lot of the Indy Star. And here I am playing around, trying to get an "interview" with car-crash victim, Dennis Ryerson!
