Hi, welcome to the new VicMedia Blog. This is my second go at blogging and I intend to use this space to blog about my experiences as a digital media producer. I also intend to share my knowledge and thoughts on media production.
First of all, I should introduce myself. My name is Vic and I have been involved with media production for a few years now. I worked in the printing industry for several years, but have always been interested in, photography, video, and audio production. I actually learned how to do this all the old school way… yup, you got it… film, analog tape, linear editing and even some razor blade work!
Fortunately, I came in just as the digital revolution was starting and I jumped into desktop publishing (DTP), all the while keeping my eye on the advances in digital photography, non-linear desktop editing, digital audio, multimedia and the web.
Once digital entered the scene and the prices of media production tools came down to a price “affordable” enough for someone working for a “normal” wage, I purchased equipment and software and taught myself how to do media production.
I started my own media production company, VicMedia, and worked on small projects for various clients. I even taught a couple of media production classes at a middle school and local high school.
After a couple of years of trying to do it all on my own, I found a job as a media producer for a local non-profit organization, doing video production, some graphic design and web work. This has helped me increase my skills while earning a steady paycheck and still keep VicMedia going on the side.
Now I’m at a point where I’d like to take my business in a slightly new, but exciting direction… video production for the web. I am still keeping my “day” job but am re-focusing VicMedia as as web video production company, hence the new blog.
Stay tuned and let me show you my passion for video and how you can use it in your own efforts to communicate to your audience.
