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.
In honor of opening day, who these ballplayers remind you of?
The Giants’ Brian Wilson?
Manny Ramirez?
A-Rod?
Milton Bradley?
Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmermann?
