Multimediashooter.com is Hacked to Death – PDNPulse

Andrew DeVigal is about to re-launch Interactive Narratives, a multimedia resource site that went dormant a couple of years ago when DeVigal joined The New York Times as a multimedia producer.

MultimediaShooter Hacked, Apparently Dead
I am sorry to report that this website is down for the count. The site was recently hacked several
times this weekend and severe damage was done. I do not have the time or resources at this time to
continue. I wish you all the best. I only wish this hadn’t happened.
[To the ‘hacker’ I hope it makes you happy to destroy something that people put their
heart and soul into for years, for the sole purpose of learning and creating a small community
on the web. Just to have you destroy it for no reason. You win. There is a special place in hell for you.]Check it out here.

Teaching Online Journalism » The elements of storytelling
I spent the past two days playing host to Ken Speake, a master storyteller and a longtime journalist. We put him in front of as many students as we could without completely wearing him down to a nub, and it might have been the most valuable 50 minutes each of those students has spent all year.

CapeCodTimes.com – From Marconi to multimediabsb
One video in particular caught the attention of the Red Sox. On “picture day,” when players wear home whites and have official photos taken, some Sox are asked to cut public service announcements. Papelbon was one such player.
Papelbon’s PSA was in Spanish, which proved difficult for the closer. He was struggling and swearing, getting more than a few laughs from the people around him, so Lunsford decided to shoot video rather than photos. We used the clip on CapeCast, our daily Web report, and the Papelbon video became, as they like to say on ESPN, an instant classic.
Fan sites, such as the Boston Dirt Dogs, linked to it. About 25,000 people had seen it on YouTube by Friday.
The Red Sox PR staff at first didn’t seem too pleased that a photographer was shooting video. Understandably, they like to know who is doing what around the players. It proved a minor misunderstanding but speaks to how the media world is changing.

Say NO to video: Conversations with the Video God : MultimediaShooter
And no matter how hard I try, it’s just not working. We don’t seem to be making the kind of money you said we would and people aren’t really watching. You said video would save newspapers, I distinctly remember you saying this at your speech at ASNE. [Note to reader, if you don’t work for The New York Times or the Washington Post and you are making money and gaining viewers, PLEASE share your winning formula, seriously, the rest of us could use it.]

Magazines Sites Add Video, but Not Much Expertise – Advertising Age – MediaWorks
About six minutes into the judging, it dawned on me just how screwed most of these magazine companies really are. In their rush to cash in on web video, most seem to have convinced themselves that sloppily edited six-minute clips pass for must-see content. It’s as if the very act of creating something that moves and talks has blinded producers and editors to the dullness of their creations.
Take Playboy.com’s “Ask Hef Anything” series, in which the robe-encrusted octogenarian answers questions in a manner so stiff and stilted as to prompt concern about his well-being. Ignoring the obvious first issue — what kind of sick, misguided bastard would ask Hugh Hefner about a flag-burning amendment? — I have no clue how training a camera on an individual who has lived his entire adult life in the public eye qualifies as innovation, much less as something that could ultimately bolster the bottom line.
