Opening Day

This week I began a new series of editorial videos for Slate.com.  Up till now I have used a production crew to create short films.  This works very well for TV where you can find (if you’re lucky) a budget of some kind.  The web is different.  If I wanted to continue this online, I realized I had to get the costs down.  So finally, after some fuss and education I have gotten the video deal down to the cost of an editorial illustration. Thanks to Bill Smee and everyone at Slate for giving this a go.  Shooting for one a week.  Let’s see what happens. I will put these up as I do them. A big difference between this and print is that success is measured in clicks . . . not only editorial decision preference. So your page-view really helps.  Hope you like.
