Lenslinger,
If I am to glean from your short comment you believe that I am a convert to the "Church of Rosenblum" I must disabuse you of that notion. Neither you nor he should entertain that thought. My reference to Shelly Palmer's wise admonition on respect most assuredly cuts both ways.
Now for those of you who don't read Lenslinger's blog he is truly a renaissance cameraman and quite a prolific writer. Check him out!

No asuch assumption, Jim - just a failed attempt at a Yoda line from Return of the Jedi. Guess that third bourbon was a mistake...

I think this little set-to you had at that (virtual) bar was simply a matter of street creds: you have 'em; Rosenblum does not. I'm going to order another round so you can just kick his ass good once and for all.

about 6 years ago, I was extremely excited by Rosenblum's ideas on making TV with small cameras. Being a young guy working in TV news, it made sense. I knew how to tell stories, but the reality of my job showed that I would only be in a support role for a while.
I finally got to meet him at his storefront in the Lower East side in downtown Manhattan (it's now gone). He set up a Digital Dojo where he taught workshops on how to shoot and edit. His workshops were way overpriced. I walked away unimpressed. Reminded me of Tony Robbins who preaches the greatness of positive thinking...and then sells you the books/seminars to achieve it.
Doing more research...i got the feeling that Mr.Rosenblum would just walk into newsrooms and say "i can help you do this a lot cheaper". That's the message that the executives picked up on. Make your reporters do all the shooting and editing. Cut down on payroll. This isnt the revolution In wanted to be a part of.
Maybe this wasn't Mr. Rosenblum's intention. I have no fear of being proven ignorant. But I would love to see examples where it his grand words have proven to have created a better workplace where deeper storytelling is the goal.
