Dan Chung’s Tsunami Aftermath HDSLR video

Video: Khalid Mohtaseb & Philip Bloom discussing cinematic news shooting



Watch this interesting discussion between Khalid Mohtaseb and Philip Bloom discuss the issues around the use of cinematic techniques in news shooting. Jon Bryant sent it to me after he read this article, and I think it is worth sharing on the matter. It was ironically also shot by Dan Chung, but the two of them cover many of the issues currently being discussed around Dan Chung’s tsunami aftermath video.

There is now a lengthy audio podcast with Dan Chung on David Campbell’s blog, where he goes into great detail about the whole assignment to shoot in the disaster zone.

Here’s a quote from the blog:

In an effort to offer something different, Dan produced a piece of ‘cinematic journalism’ he felt embodied the experience of being in the disaster zone. He discusses his intentions at length in the podcast (from 20:55 to 30:00). This film, which took less than two hours to make, has generated a lot of controversy online, as the comments on Vimeo demonstrate.

Check out the full audio podcast and even more backstory on David Campbell’s blog.

Personally, I’m torn on this entire matter, I can understand either side but I’m not sure if either of which is “right”. It’s really all a matter of perspective, but maybe it indeed is too much, too soon.

What’s your position on this?
