seriously?

We do a lot of very serious stories at work so it was fun to find something lighter during the first MediaStorm workshop in NYC.

The assignment was “Times Square.” The biggest thing I learned is that working with pros like Reuters Senior Photographer Lucy Nicholson and Reuters Head of Visual Projects Jassim Ahmad just elevated the entire piece. We produced this from idea to finish in three days. I produced, Lucy shot and videotaped and recorded the interviews, Jassim edited and I produced and “guided.” And we all pitched in with additional recording, photos and editing ideas.

And if you still have the stomach for it, you can peek backstage at the Workshop in this piece by boy wonder and MediaStorm’s first intern Tim McLaughlin.
