Hot 'n' fresh

Coming Sunday: Reporter Allison Perkins looks at some local b-boys, and we'll have video online with a b-boy offering explanation of, and commentary on, the moves you'll be seeing.

This was the production I accidentally almost killed earlier this week. The surviving remnant, assembled during a frenzied 2 1/2 hours on Tuesday, lacks all the frills like matching sound levels, neat visual transitions and, well, coherence that distinguished the original, but at this point it's better than nothing. All praise to Allison and videographer Taylor Webster Kevin Lockamy; all criticism to me.

Well, it seems that you have someone on staff that knows the ins and outs of quality multimedia production. The "Chinese New Year," "Paintball," "1st Horizon Park" and "NCAA Championship" pieces were all of the high standard that is expected from the News & Record. Are those folks still working at the paper?

Monochrome, the point of this exercise is for me (and, eventually, other News staffers) to learn how to do this stuff. Moreover, the people who did the earlier interactive stuff, our full-time Interactive staff, are tied up trying to get our site redesign finished.

Speaking of the redesign, you can preview it at beta.news-record.com. Comments welcome; just follow the feedback link or e-mail me.
