Images of Zero Principle of videojournalism

I'm in the middle of producing a short from South Africa, returning to the place I lived and worked as a freelancer for the BBC WS, and local TV and an Associate producer for ABC News.

But I'm missing a shot, which led to me trawling through my digitised assets. Didn't find it so will resume tomorrow, but I did come across some of the images etc, which one day I will generate as video stories.

Here are some of those images annotated

Tom Donaldson of Pencil Technologies has seen tomorrow: a Bluetooth device which sends a message by proxy, flea-hopping to contacts in your network.

As a group of us observe this technology at a London research gathering of The Smart Lab I can see other apps: a Star Trek moment of literally calling up video to your desktop; and video hyperlinking [linking videos together in the same way as a hyperlink] to extend the timeline of the story - an area I have been researching.

But that's for tomorrow.

Here and now it is video that continues its mushroom cloud expansion online and videojournalism rising upon the crest. It's a far cry from writing in this column almost two years ago when video on broadband was found a tad wanting.

Some interesting observations are unfolding: videojournalism's pervasiveness yields passionate debate with online you'll find stern voices defining its genius and standards of production and delivery.
