VJing in Moldova

After showing off my skills of a cameraman at News 2's Video101 "See Blog Shoot" class last weekend, I've got my first VJing "gig" (but you'd think that they would have been more cautious after my little performance per Tim Morgan).

I was quite surprised yesterday when Brittney Gilbert emailed me and asked if I would take one of their little cameras with me to Moldova to record my trip and share the footage with the station when I got back. I, of course, accepted the offer.

I was also given a few extra pointers from News 2's Dirk Mooth....such as...how to do the old switcharoo with a tape if I happen to be recording someone from the Russian mafia and they want the tape (that is, if they don't take the camera and beat me with it).

Russian mafia run-ins aside, I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can capture via video on this trip. This will also allow me to perhaps do a little more video-blogging as well. They gave me nine hours of tape with the intent of me apparently using it all. I'll see what I can do. heh
