Helping Dancers Get the Right Shot

Dance blogger Matt Gough links to post by photographer Brian Shaler who uses a good combination of video, images and text to describe how he got the desired picture. In his case, a static car with a blurred background.

Matt has a good point. There are many Internet-based video and photo editing/publishing tools that could be put to innovative use by dancers. In Brian Shaler's post, for example, the video application Viddler is used. You'll see when you watch this video that you can add tags and comments at any point of the clip to highlight whatever you think is important. I'd really like to see experimentations with this type of annotation for dance, especially for educational purposes.
