Becoming a “Preditor”

Who knew? It seems I’ve been a “Preditor” and didn’t even know it. In case you’re as behind the times as I was, a “Preditor” is a PRoducer EDITOR who, shooting his own material, can get to a location, shoot the story, edit it and get it out. Haiti was a good example: shooting during the day, back in time to edit and satellite the material for U.S. or European broadcasters. The technology has finally caught up with what I do — cameras shoot PAL or NTSC, laptop computers edit on the fly — it can be pretty effective. It’s the ultimate one-man band.
