WIP Live Edit Weeks 4 & 5

We're a week behind on the WIP edit videos, so there's going to be two this week to catch up. Unfortunately the week 5 edit is very short because so few images were submitted.

Once again we have a live edit video for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy and please leave comments either in the Viddler timeline or below in the comments section. Feel free to add your own critique or critique our critiques.

WIP Live Edit - 0803 Week 7

Sorry for the delay the last two weeks. We're still figuring out some things, and this week we had the added twist of doing the whole edit from entirely different parts of the world. We used Skype to conference call everyone together, but Aaron's audio didn't get recorded, so that's why there's a few empty spots in the audio track.


WIP Live Edit - 0803 Week 6

Well folks, it's another week gone by and another Week in Pictures edit is ready to be viewed. We apologize again for the delays, but, life happens. Especially in week 7. A great set of images this time around, and a really good edit. Hope you enjoy, and please keep submitting!


Internship - Times Community News-Orange County

Times Community News Logos

Times Community News-Orange County, a division of the Los Angeles Times, is comprised of one daily, and two weekly newspapers covering coastal Orange County. All three papers provide the opportunity to cover breaking news, general news, features, sports, and portraiture photography for publish in print and online. Interns are treated like staff photographers and are expected to be reliable and punctual. Interns have to provide their own still equipment, but larger Canon lenses are available for loan when needed. Photographers cover the cities of Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and a small portion of Irvine. Websites for papers: www.dailypilot.com, www.coastlinepilot.com, www.hbindependent.com

Internships are customized to meet the needs of the intern. Hours and length of internship are flexible, again to meet the needs of the student and his/her program. Internship positions available are still photojournalism, video photojournalism, or multimedia, consisting of stills, video, and audio presentations.

Portfolio and resumes can be mailed or emailed. Hard copy, CD, and website based portfolios are acceptable.

Week In Pictures Live Edit Week 5

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay this week. I was in Vegas Monday night and Tuesday for the annual NAB show.

We had a drastic drop in entries from last week - down to just 22 from more than triple that last week! We hope weeks 6 & 7 don't keep you all so busy that you forget to submit, so I've added a reminder appointment on the Brooks NPPA Google Calendar every Sunday.

Until then, as always, we hope you'll comment with feedback and your own critiques of the work presented here. Keep up the good work, and we'll have next week's up on time. Promise!
