Here are two videos that were done by trainees in the most recent Travel Channel Academy in Washington.

They’re both interesting and creative, in their own ways.

Take a look.

    Both were nice pieces but I didn’t see one carrot being chopped up. What gives?

    “Close-up on the hands, close-up on the face, medium shot, over the shoulder and a wide shot”. Oh, and “don’t move the @!^&#*@ camera!”

    Funny how some things can stick with a guy. You may have scarred my delicate psyche Michael.

    Both pieces were definitely interesting. I saw the world record thing on tv, that piece was light-hearted and fun. The yellow cab piece was truthful though, I almost wish it had more time; very interesting and good story. Good job(s) 🙂
