Goodbye to UWDV.COM, Hello to Immersive Video Journalist

[freediver]

As some of you may know, I published a site devoted to shooting video underwater - UWDV.COM. The site has been a labor of love, but the love faded away in the past several months as traffic died off and more or less, no one took an interest in the site..

Having said that, I'm announcing at the end of February 2008, UWDV.COM is going offline for good.

As of Feb 11, 2008, I have gone live with a new blogging portal entitled "Immersive Video Journalist".

Immersivevj.com will address not only shooting video underwater, equipment choices, etc, but will wax specifically on such topics as freediving while shooting video, content distribution, story telling techniques in the Solo Video Journalist Paradigm, less is more regarding gear, web video journalism and content distribution, dive trips and workshops for freedivers, freedive training and other related topics. The site will utilize the IM6 paradigm - Integrated Media 6 ways, combining video, audio and other forms of digital content to create a site that is engaging to viewers who will experience more than just reading static text.

Read what my cyber-colleague and VJ mentor David Dunkley-Gyimah has to say about the new paradigm of underwater video journalism.

I encourage you to subscribe to the RSS feeds available through Feedburner and Technorati as a means to keeping informed about new postings. This is the new wave of content portals and I hope that you will chime in and let me know what you think. Tell your colleagues and dive friends.

I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Warmest regards and safe diving.
