A BULLPEN OF EDITORS

If you've been looking at our ThinkTech Stories on blogspot you know that we are working on some significant operational changes at ThinkTech: 

(a) Moving to new editing software, Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 18, which is free.

(b) Connecting with shows and hosts that do shows remotely outside our normal studio hours.

(c) Building our capacity to edit not only shows done during our studio hours but also those done in remote time zones.

Taken together, this will give us new opportunities to produce shows that look and sound better and give our studio engineers help in editing the shows we do. It will also give us greater reach to develop shows at times and places convenient to hosts and guests from around the world.

So we're looking for editors here or anywhere who know or can learn Resolve, who can take the steps necessary to edit our shows to our production standards, and who can turn them around quickly so they can be streamed and broadcast to meet the demands of our airdate schedule.

We think these gig editing assignments will be of interest to anyone who follows the news and events we cover, and to anyone who wants to develop skills in editing our content using software we consider the best available for the job.  We'll pay per show, and we want to find and develop a number of editors who we can call upon for these assignments.

We believe that video and what we can do with it is the future, and editing video is an expertise and industry that is growing logarithmically around the world.  Want to get in on it?  Know anyone else who may want to get in on it?  Send resumes to michael@thinktechhawaii.com.

ThinkTech Hawaii, Always Moving Forward.

OUR LEGACY COLLECTION

BUILDING OUR LEGACY OF LEARNING ThinkTech is now building a Legacy of Learning Collection out of the nearly 20,000 talk shows, webinars and program videos we have produced over the past ten years. We're going to enhance our website and our YouTube search functions and playlist pages. We want to empower everyone who cares about our content, and make sure that they can find anything we've done, from the beginning. We're going to go through all of these videos, review them for content and quality and improve them for better viewing when appropriate. We're going to curate and organize them into special playlists and collections, and make sure they are good and worthy for archival research and community use under creative commons. Given the number and scope of these videos, it'll take a while and some staff and volunteer time to do what we have in mind, but we're determined to do it and confident that it will be well worthwhile. The project will provide open access o...

  REVAMPING OUR SITE Given our new production workflow (see last week’s ThinkTech Story), and our increased focus on publication dates for disseminating, archiving and retrieving our videos, we’ve revamped our website. More specifically, we have added a section on the home page called Latest Productions (most recently published).   These are our most recent shows, ordered by their publication dates (that is, the dates they are uploaded and published on our YouTube.com channel ( YouTube.com/thinktechhawaii ).   We’ve also created a separate page with this section by itself.   See the top level menu to get there.   And we’ve put a short form of this section on the right side of most other pages of the site, so you can easily find. play and replay them at your convenience. And we have added a section on the home page called Most Popular (most recent top five and staff pick).   There are our current Top Five and Staff Pick talk show videos, ordered by the view...

How News Organizations should approach AI Marty Baron, former executive editor of the Washington Post has published a book on his experience there, "Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and THE WASHINGTON POST .   Among some very interesting points he made in an interview with CNN are some suggestions on how news organizations should approach A.I.   Baron said:   “Generative AI poses huge risks but also offers some intriguing opportunities. I think we’re all familiar with the risks, especially when AI pulls so-called information out of the ether. The result is what are typically called "hallucinations." More appropriately they should be called "fabrications."   “Then he added, “But there are ways to introduce some efficiencies in newsroom operations with the careful use of generative AI. Reporters and editors are burdened with all sorts of tasks they didn’t have to perform in a previous era: search- and social-friendly headlines, photo selection, metadata, alerts,...
