I recently completed an hour-long phone interview for a Innovative Interactivity article I’m putting together. About a half hour in, the Marantz PMD-660 I was using suddenly stopped recording and I had to quickly put a halt to the questions. Strangely, the recorder was still recording information, but no sound was coming through the headphones (let that be a lesson to anyone who doesn’t monitor their audio). I asked my subject if I could call them back, checked the batteries, restarted the player and pressed record. The recorder seemed to be doing fine.

Teaching students to organize their time is often an up hill battle. But with multimedia it’s imperative that students understand the amount of time that’s involved. For that reason, I wrote up a one-week shooting/production schedule to create a multimedia project. I’d be interested to hear thoughts on what needs to be added or subtracted from the schedule, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, drop ‘em in the comments!
The following excerpts represent sections of my written thesis from the University of Florida’s masters program. As a documentarian, it was important for me to question the tenants of my practice.
