KittyCam: a video on the random cats of Janesville
This week I put together a video about the cats that have been coming for food in my yard. What started out as one hungry kitty has expanded to 6 separate kitties.
Social media and ethics - it matters.

One person can reach hundreds in the click of a keyboard. Going viral, someone could reach thousands or millions. We have this powerful technology at our fingertips, giving us a platform to shout into the void and see if anyone is ‘listening.’ Unfortunately, that is not often how it is used. Many times it becomes a bully pulpit, a way to harass others, or a way to spread misinformation. In recent years social media has changed the average person from one who thinks critically but trusts and relies on experts into people who claim this article their son-in-law sent them explains it all, and conspiracy theories abound. It is crippling our society. I admit a little skepticism and constructive criticism can be a good thing, but we have swung so far away from that it is disheartening. Socia...
Bless your heart. You made my day with your video and your commentary. One thing that I noticed most was your clear and comforting tone of voice - something that I wouldn't have without some type of surgery HA! You did an excellent job interfacing the game cam video and the narrative and expect to see you on the Meow Mix commercial in the near future.
ReplyDeleteThis is so precious! I personally have a cat here at my apartment in Valley City. I love her dearly. I love that you are dedicated to helping out all of these cats. I grew up on a farm, whereas we often saw stray cats as well. You did a great job with your video editing. I agree with Jill's comment about your voice. You have a very clear and calm tone. I love it. Great job!
ReplyDeleteReally clear voice, and I liked the intro. It kinda felt like the opening of a "true crime" podcast, which I thought was pretty funny. Also, very good microphone quality, and your editing was quite good. Only thing I would've added is maybe some music, but I don't know what would have fit the tone the best. Really solid work!
