]]> Comment on Innovative Online Video Journalism by honeybunny http://www.nikolaswoischnik.com/2009/02/02/innovative-online-video-journalism/comment-page-1/#comment-87 honeybunny Mon, 02 Feb 2009 20:10:54 +0000 http://www.nikolaswoischnik.com/?p=379#comment-87 There are two things that come to my mind when I see this video 1) The fact that we are living in an era of images, where books and words are not our primary way of comunication anymore. And so is logical that newspapers start developing the news on videos. This evolution will keep going until some new technology replaces it, but until then, the more original and more visually impact the better. But, you must think what are we leaving behind, words, reading, are excersises/actions that influence our brain development and our culture. I can´t imagine what will the consecuences be for that yet, some good and some really bad I guess. 2) The second thing is that an image tells more than a 1000 words (is said) but, it does that when we have the time, wisdom and sensitiveness to SEE. Now images are following wrong objectives: a) make impact 2) combat boredness 3) be quick. We are invaded by images. The information is so much that is loosing strengh. For example this video. It has a beautifull aestetics, and is clear the message is supose to make me feel sorry, make me aware, but it really doesn´t. I´v seen more awfull things on every day TV. I´ve seen the use of this images even for selling cloth or selling a moviestar. They have no impact at us at all. They are not workign anymore. Awareness is useless nowadays. What we need is REACTION. I even feel this video was more of an advertisement for NYT or the video maker than a real intention for awareness. We need REACTION, to go from word to images to actions...

Why? Imagine the number of nations that sell shoes in public, have shoes in use or are currently developing on projects of so called S.H.O.E.S. - Not only North Korea, Iran or Switzerland; American National Security Advisors have already stated that almost every nation on the planet is now in focus. But don't worry: Men are not to be frightened as girls should be. Ok, well... this comment is at least overestimating the scenes. I guess we are on the edge of barefoot press-conferences in the near future, people. I would say this leads to new wars. Why?

Actually, he already did it. You just didn’t know because you don’t get the feed. Q. How many bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb? A. None. Bloggers don’t change lightbulbs, they change the world. Q. How many bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb? A. Sure, Brooke Mote, 35, of Covington, Ga., knew she was fat. Whenever the single first-grade teacher went out socially, every chat she had with a man seemed to end with a requestÅ that she introduce him to her slender friend! Still, she never thought there was anything wrong with being at 5-foot-10 and 268 lbs. a big, beautiful woman. Search Phentermine pills! Q. How many bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb? A. 100. 1 to change the lightbulb and 99 to comment on how it should have been done differently. Have fun and change the world;)
