The story commemorated the day of the Pearl Harbor attacks. A short ceremony for those that lost their lives in 1941 was held by New Jersey Gov. John Corzine, Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy and two actual survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack. While this could have simply been a stand-alone picture for the paper, reporter Charles Hack and I decided to try and make a bit more out the small gathering.
The Journal does not have a style for it's multimedia, so I have been trying to test out a few different variations of the medium. Charles was kind enough to lend his BBC Radio voice to the piece, reading from a short transcript. I prefer to allow a story to tell itself; without narration. But it is quite hard to gather each element for such a story (also considering this event was no more than 20 minutes). Writing, producing and editing this piece was easier than I thought, and it had quite a quick turnaround. But it does suffer from lack of foresight. Quality is truly latched to its mistress: Time.
