Someone pitched this story at the afternoon meeting. Luckily, no one went to cover it! Back in Columbus days, you and I would probably be turning that complete nonstory INTO a story.

Comment on Don’t Got That B-Roll? by liveapartmentfire

Allow me to explain. Back in the day, they’d play two reels of film simultaneously for a reporter package. The A-roll carried the primary editorial material, like the interviews and standup (the voice track played on an audio tape cart, which rolled separately.)

The B-roll carried video — typically visual filler — that wouldn’t work on the A-roll. The director could cut between the two reels. If he was feeling fancy, sometimes he’d even dissolve. All this would happen on the fly — the a-roll, the b-roll and the audio cart. And they’d hit supers too.

A mere fifteen years ago, ENG editors would make A and B rolls when they wanted to do a lot of dissolves or other effects. It was like a big puzzle, with black holes on the A roll coinciding with the corresponding pictures on the B roll and vice versa. You should try it.

Like, next time you shoot a story, whenever that might be.

Unfortunately, I don’t have anymore links. I just happened to catch this interview on 60 Minutes.

By the way, the above posted clip was actually from the END of the package, and one of the last topics discussed.

Only thing about that clip/conversation with Perry on that topic was that it was ludicrously way too short! I could listen to him talk on that matter for hours. Will now have to troll around looking for more interviews w/Perry on just that thing. UNLESS you have a link(s) to any more. Hint hint!

As a recent j-school grad, I’m so thankful the curriculum at KU was catered toward the “one man band” journalist. Who says a jack-of-all-trades can’t be a master of any?
