I grabbed the chance to improve my skills at video storytelling and other multimedia features following the death of a retired Catholic archbishop

I wanted to accomplish:

• Timeliness. Using my iPhone, I filmed, edited and uploaded the video as soon as possible.
• A flavor of the unfolding events for people who couldn’t be there but could check in through social media. On Twitter, I focused on color as prayers and rites began. Pictures sent via Twitter put people in the scene.
• I followed the routine of: Twitter, photo, Facebook, video. I interviewed a lot of people using the tried and true pen and notebook.

The first video was a reaction piece from the current Catholic archbishop and my efforts concluded with a slideshow using Animoto.
