Photo SlideshowTools: Still camera, Flickr account, embed code

Easy to produce, especially within the confines of a template website.

Can be easily adapted for breaking news. (We did for #OO)

Photo Slideshow with Music or Sound

Tools: Still camera, audio recorder, licensed music, animoto.com , youtube.com

Easy to produce and very engaging presentation.

Had to export from animoto and import to youtube to save costs of a pro account.

Data Over TimeTools: Quicktime or any screen recording software, Envirostar or any Government Data Display website, YouTube

Editor didn’t wind up liking/using this but I still think it’s compelling

Could be recreated with motion graphics software for more impact/clarity

Video ClipTools: Video camera, audio recorder, editing software (FCP), Youtube, embeddable links

Lets stereotyped groups speak for themselves.

Videos become quotes in the article.

Drupal and Youtube don’t always play nice.

Video InterviewTools: Flip Camera with audio, Wireless Microphone, Editing Software (Final Cut Pro), Youtube, embed code

Lets subject speak in their own voice.

Requires significant experience & time. Can also be replicated by others with more resources.

Video MontageTools: DSLR Video Camera, Audio Recorder, Editing Software (Final Cut Pro)

Gives readers the feel of a person or place.

Evergreen - doesn’t have to be produced on deadline and can run anytime.

Video StoryTools: Video Camera with audio, Wireless Microphone, Editing Software (Final Cut Pro), Youtube, embed code

Beginning-Middle-End in this case, a review.
