5Across video panel on PBS’s MediaShift

Mar 6, 2009 Author: Veronica | Filed under: video

Last week I was part of a video panel for a new show called 5Across, hosted and created by MediaShift’s Mark Glaser. As part of this beta for their monthly episodes, we discussed topics such as how we started in our new media video careers, professional vs. amateur video, distribution methods and more.

With me on the show was Irina Slutsky, Mark Day, JD Lasica, and Eric Elia. Full video is below, and you can see the video segments by topic on their site. We didn’t agree on everything, of course, but it was great to sit down and chat with other people in our industry.

The one point in the video that stood out to me the most is when it was said that you can tell who’s passionate about what they do. I completely agree with that. The people that love what they do are the ones that do the best shows. You can tell in the first few minutes of a show if the host(s) enjoy what they’re talking about.

I really liked this panel discussion. I’ll definitely watch more of them.

Thanks for the link to the video, it was informative and entertaining. I sent it along to a friend.

I especially agree about being passionate about what you do and also Irina’s comment on producing the content then finding the willing sponsors.
