Background on a larger online video project

Yesterday I got to hear Christina Pino-Marina speak about A Wave of Uncertainty, a video project she shot for washingtonpost.com. She is one of eight documentary videographers on staff at the Post.

Knowing that there would be a handover of power in Cuba one day soon, the Post sent Pino-Marina (who speaks Spanish) to shoot for this package several times (for a total of about two weeks), mostly in the early months of 2007. It wasn’t a deadline project, so she had the leisure of editing the segments over the course of about a month, on and off. In between, other projects took over her time, including the Virginia Tech shootings.

Make sure you look at the credits, at the bottom of the presentation page.

“There’s no way I could do this stuff by myself,” she told an audience at the annual convention of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication in Washington, D.C.

The project relied on collaboration between the online staff and the print staff, which in the case of washingtonpost.com and The Washington Post are separated by several miles and the Potomac River. She gave a lot of credit to the designers and the researchers, as well as the editors.

Pino-Marina shoots solo and carries her own gear, including a Sony HVR-Z1U, tripod and light kit. She said she thinks a solo VJ can sometimes get a better interview than a TV crew, because the person being interviewed may feel more comfortable with just one person in the room.

Pino-Marina’s background is as a print reporter. She wrote for USA Today and the El Paso Times before she joined washingtonpost.com as a reporter in 2000. She moved to the Web site’s multimedia division in 2003 and to the documentary video team in 2004.
