He obviously has the chops to turn out a top notch SS presentation; getting that quality of audio, while also shooting the stills is an art form. Still, he has the sense to go that extra step and do a full on critic of his own work, that makes him a better photojournalist and it makes for a better product in the future. The thousands of wannabe multimedia photographers out there slinging together a half-ass SS production (or worse, a cheesy video) would do well to just study Dan's self-critic here.
