On the video on viewmagazine.tv looking at the future of videojournalism, I show how videojournalism was around in 1994 and how prior that creative film making emerged from such discursive programmes as BBC reportage.
The video contains some rare footage from 1994 of the 30 videojournalists chosen from 3000 candidates and that the explicit meaning of videojournalism has usurped its more implicit

FERRARI SP12 EC
There hasn't been enough great pieces to feature these days to post so I have to resort to cars another obsession of mine! This one here is a one-of-a-kind Ferrari SP12 EC based on the 512 BB and is estimated to cost $4.7 MILLION DOLLARS! Specifically made for and in collaboration with music legend Eric Clapton.
WOODY PIC
Now you know this woman is way too beautiful for nerdy Woody Allen and that's probably why he dates 13 year olds but nonetheless this photo is perfect for those reasons alone and her breasts (or breast) aren't half bad either!
ELLE UK JULY 2012 Issue featuring David Beckham
This ELLE UK's first male cover and who else do they have then their own David Beckham! Those tattooed sleeves are just too much and I friggin' hate tattoos so maybe they should've photoshopped that.
J. CREW Edie Attaché Tote Bag
J. Crew always seem to get it right over these days especially with these new luxe-looking bags called the Edie Attaché Tote Bag. I saw the CNBC special the other day about J. Crew (it was more about J. Crew CEO Mickey Drexler) and it was a really good watch so I highly recommend if this stuff fascinates you. Available now @ JCrew.com for $288.

The humble football and the future of news media
How wondrous is this round thing I thought, as I pondered what I would say to a class of fifteen year olds about the media.
The humble ball fitted the answer.
We can trace this round thing, documented as football, back to the ancient Greeks, though its conceivable Neanderthals kicked around a round object.
But at some point the modern game emerged. It was rowdy, played by peasants and

Asymmetric social media trumps social?
Out with Nato forces in Norwegian seas, various teams are practising how to thwart one of the biggest threats to its forces - an asymmetric attack by a small craft, such as the one above.
An elite super force at the mercy of those who don't play by the rules, asymmetric is a term that also has a great deal of currency in post-media.
Simply put it's the one sided relationship between

VINTAGE POLO MADRAS JACKET
Ralph Lauren got it right with this Madras Jacket with white jeans, nautical tie and leather plaque belt!
BILL MURRAY(IN MADRAS) & WES ANDERSON @ CANNES
Bill Murray is certainly getting into character even after shooting his latest film directed by one of my favorite directors/writers Wes Anderson in this outrageous Madras look. I like the madras pants look with the simpler details along with it like in pic 2 of him in the new 'Moonrise Kingdom' with a white oxford button-up. Joshua Kissi from Street Etiquette gets it right as well pictured above but a little too tight for me nonetheless still got the combination right. Brooks Brothers has a pair for sale for $128 now online.
HARPER'S BAZAAR June 2012 Issue featuring Kate Moss
The shortest (5'7") but most famous model in the world Kate Moss is featured in the new Harper's Bazaar and it looks unbelievably good! From the background to the clothes to the props to the beauty herself everything is perfect!
FRIEDA PINTO @ CANNES 2012
I don't know about you but I think Frieda looked her best in this beautiful preppy nautical-inspired ensemble! I guess it's the blue and how well it fits her that did it for me!
SPERRY TOPSIDER WOMEN'S AO BOAT SHOES in CORAL/COGNAC
I found these Sperrys in a cool Coral patent and cognac leather with a nautical rope shoestring! Available now @ SperryTopsider.com for $90.

Videojournalism stories in digital cinema - Re'P'lay
Four years ago in one of the highest buildings in London in Canary Wharf I was invited to a meeting of some of London's creatives.
There were about 50 of us seated in a circle and the idea, on the day, was to act as a giant think tank.
Chaired by Jude Kelly, Artistic Director of the Southbank Centre, I had a couple of ideas. The one that got Goldie agreeing was a Sims Olympic 2012. Now that

Solo producing stunning web-based stories & online docs
Raquel Villanueva
Site: http://www.vintagelondoner.com/
As with Videojournalism, the turn of 2000 would produce a new crop of digital creatives who were equally at home encoding as they were filming.
Flash couldn't support video, so you had to create the illusion of movement with bitmap images, and when it did you'd be hard pressed to have a control panel.
It's one reason why if you

LL BEAN SIGNATURE Fall/Winter 2012 Collection
The LL Bean Signature Collection always has something great for us men to look forward too and it has that preppy outdoorsy feel to it that I grew up with in upstate New York that was also big in the city. The first two looks are my favorite especially that printed shirt jacket and those Bean Boots that are Chelsea Boot influenced in a dark tarnished brown leather.
