Covering a demonstration

Yesterday I went to the A.N.S.W.E.R. anti-war demonstration/march/rally in downtown D.C. and shot some video for USA TODAY. Actually, I was in class at AU, but the professor sent us down to the march so we could observe it and then discuss the subsequent coverage. I figured as long as I’m there, I might as well cover it for USA TODAY as well.

I started out trying to shoot photos and record audio for a sights and sounds gallery, but switched to video, figuring that would be easier to manage, edit, and produce by myself. I was right.

The results aren’t great, but I thought I’d share. I had to edit the footage while helping with dinner and other household tasks. Anyway, here it is.
