Bruce A. Johnson

A 1981 graduate of the Boston University College of Communication, Bruce A. Johnson got his first job in broadcast television at WFTV, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, FL. While there, he rose through the ranks from teleprompter operator to videographer, editor, producer and director of many different types of programming. It was in the early 1980's that he bought his first computer - a Timex/Sinclair 1000 - a device he hated so much, he promptly exchanged it for an Atari 400. But the bug had bitten hard.

In 1987, Johnson joined Wisconsin Public Television in Madison as a videographer/editor, and still works there to the present day. His responsibilities have grown, however, and now include research and presentations on the issues surrounding the digital television transition, new consumer technology and the use of public television spectrum in homeland security. He freelances through his company Painted Post MultiMedia, and has written extensively for magazines including DV and Studio Monthly.

The 5 S’s Of Scinematography

With apologies to Joseph Mascelli

Anyone that has gone to school for film or video production should be aware of a book entitled “The 5 C’s Of Cinematography,” by Joseph V. Mascelli . It is a timeless classic, jammed full of essential knowledge for anyone that wants to be a shooter, editor or director. It also has one of the catchiest titles ever bestowed on a textbook, which I am shamelessly ripping off for this post. This post is about video production - live remote production - and the joys of the job.
