John Lennon Song Writing Finalist, Erin Austin, performs her song,
“You Let Me Down” on Static.

Produced by NewsOK Videographer, Tanner Herriot and Assistant Entertainment Editor, George Lang, Static continues to be one of the things I enjoy the most on our site. Each week, Lang sits down with a new music artist and discusses what drives their creative endeavors. View past episodes of Static on NewsOK.

In June, Herriot won a Silver Telly Award for his work on Static. This global honor recognizes outstanding video in a number of categories from all 50 states and five continents. Congratulations Tanner for a job well done!

In recent weeks, the NewsOK video staff has been testing the Canon 5D, Mark II, camera. Unlike a traditional photo camera, the 5D will shoot 1080p HD video with sound. When paired with the right lens, you can achieve a film-like depth of field that rivals the Hollywood film maker. Check out the Red One, Canon 5D and Panasonic GH1 in a side-by-side CrunchGear video.

With a price tag under three grand, I must say, “I’m totally blown away.”

Recording My Experiences

mug_scott_bw.jpgAfter slogging away for years to beat the next deadline, it's nice to have a place to quickly record my professional experiences. I started this blog, as we were finishing the design and launch of the second of four media studios on the 7th floor of The Oklahoman in Oklahoma City and one studio east of the White House in the National Press Building. Below are a set of links reflecting our dreams, our challenges and the products and services we chose.
