Symons - Cameras can record. Mobile phones transmit data.
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:05:11 PM
Accessories improve the quality you can produce. Stands, lenses, XLR cable attachments.
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:07:40 PM
All the attachments would run between $ 300-400.
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:08:05 PM

Symons says this is great for newspapers. Can create footage for websites quickly.
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:24:39 PM
Symons says he is working on a portable keyboard so creating text stories will be easier to do from the field as well.
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:25:08 PM
Symons says when people go online and read stories, only about 1/5 generally watch the video attached with the story.
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:26:42 PM
Symons says instead of video, create a slide show synced with audio. Keep it around a minute.
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:27:57 PM
Further explanation on video now.
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:29:33 PM

Very technical stuff being talked about right now. I would be lying if I said I know all these weird file types Symon keeps mentioning were
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:48:36 PM
Symons says the app is cheaper than most students textbooks
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:49:07 PM
Symons says most people can learn the system in under two hours.
by n.prospero274/28/2012 8:52:12 PM
Even faster if they have previous experience with an editor like Final Cut
