This Tuesday needed a Coffee Break

More detailed explanation on this series soon. Angi and I knocked a few highlights of existing videos on NewsOK.tv.

Damon Fontenot is covering the Thunder announcements tonight: trade involving Tyson Chandler (who is on Twitter), new mascot and the game vs. the Hornets. Tim Money has been in Cushing all day covering the developments in the triple homicide. We have some video online, expect more soon.


Moments… and cool video effects

Tanner Herriott forwarded me this video earlier today. It’s a church vid promoting a series, this one called “Moments.”

What’s interesting, at least to me, is how it was shot. The subjects appear on screen and on the screen behind them. And it appears to be projected against a flowing curtain, which creates a cool effect.

Tanner is editing our next Cold Case Oklahoma video – read more from Ken Raymond’s blog on our Cold Case stuff, it’s really good. Ken and Tanner and Paige do a great job with the Cold Case series, tying the video to the print while each telling the story in its own manner. Tanner is using a reverse image to illustrate the timeline in this case. He lit a piece of paper then reversed the image creating a film effect that’s far more compelling than the typical Final Cut Pro lower third.

And yes, this post somehow went from church to murder.

Weleetka murders (video)

This story is so tragic. Tim Money did a nice job of capturing the sorrow of Okfuskee county on a rainy Monday afternoon. The nat sound only adds to the grief in the voice of the sheriff and family.
