And, the more I think about it the less dominant I feel video will be online because it’s just too slow when it comes to communication. If you’re offering the reader a headline with a lead photo and a story along with a video clip, audio clip maybe and picture slide show.

Last time I put the most absurd first and most talented last, so this time I’ll put the clips I actually like first before we descend into the laughable.  Top left are the super catchy French duo, Deux.  I’d definitely recommend checking out more from this band, whether it be the recently issued discog, Agglomerate , or the recent BIPPP comp of obscure French synth wave.  At the very least, check out the myspace, won’t you?  ps I have a crush on Cati.  She’s so melancholy and hot, smoking her cigarette!  Top right is a more humorous clip from Belgian schizoids Arbeid Adelt!  Although the band has been active since the early 80s, I can’t personally vouch for the quality of their music much beyond this early single, Pro Vita.  How the hell do you think up a video like this?

So many of the photography videos out there show great behind-the-scenes footage and tons of gear-related details. This video is more than that. In this Chase Jarvis TECH, I’m responding to the dozens–seemingly hundreds–of emails I’ve received recently asking me to highlight the various steps that comprise a professional commercial photo shoot. Therefore, follow along in this 3 minute video as I walk you through a recent commercial assignment where I was hired to photograph 3 hot young golf ladies of the LPGA.
