Columbias Tow Center for Digital Journalism studied what makes for successful news video and recommended that reporters shoot fast, raw clips posted instantly from the field, leaving in-depth, more sophisticated video stories to highly trained video journalists. These slides teach reporters how to produce those clips of under one minute with minimal editing. It is accompanied by a handout: Mobile video cheat sheet. Fernando Hurtado is manager of digital video for the NBC-Owned TV Stations' Digital Innovation Team.
