A Book Review, Michael Rosenblum’s IPhone Millionaire

Los Angeles, CA—I found this TV guru visionary on various Internet sites devoted to electronic TV newsgathering and photojournalists. Michael Rosenblum operates a school called the New York Video School. NYVS operates in Europe the USA and at times in other locales. Rosenblum just released his new book called IPhone Millionaire on creating and marketing video.

Rosenblum is an expert in creating and selling watchable, enjoyable and informative video. Video is exploding everywhere and the need for vast amounts of content is creating more opportunities for those who can harness the skill of shooting, editing and distributing their work. No product or service can exist without promotion and video is by far the best marketing tool around.

It’s been said that whoever controls the information controls the world. That is really true however today it’s no longer just governments, religious institutions or a few powerful media organizations in control. This real power has been transferred to all of us through inexpensive video cameras and powerful computer editing.

With so many social media outlets like YouTube, Viemo and Facebook anyone can and does put their projects up for the world to see. Most video we see on the social media is crappy, pointless and not well thought out. Some of it however is really enjoyable.

Making great video even with today’s IPhone can be done provided the person behind the camera gets some simple training. There are some real video gems out there that we’ve all seen. Now it’s your turn to both create and profit with you own video masterpieces.

As a private investigator I somehow found myself drafted into TV news, gathering information for crime and investigative stories. I mixed my freelance TV news assignments with the criminal defense investigations normally performed by my agency. This is what exposed me to the methodology of making video.

When this happened the cost of broadcast quality cameras and editing equipment was incredibly expensive and by today’s standards the quality sucked. Today your IPhone is better than what the broadcast industry used when I started.

Rosenblum takes you trough the evolution of video and teaches you some simple steps to make attention-grabbing video. Surprisingly Rosenblum has eliminated the traditional sit down interviews and all but sent the tripods to the cornfields. His methods are revolutionary and beyond simple.

TV news has not evolved over the decades until now. Rosenblum has spread is ideas around that have slowed the demise of TV news by making video journalists out of virtually everyone in the nation's newsrooms.

Slowly broadcast TV and our computers are all going to completely merge on our fabulous flat panel TV sets. The text and still picture only websites will soon be replaced with video.

There is money to be made creating content and pitching your material to check writing decision makers has never been easier. IPhone Millionaire shows you how it’s done.

I endorse the book and recommend it to everyone.

Here is a video report I did after Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart fell dead of an apparent heart attack in the Brentwood community of Los Angeles. It was shot with an IPhone 4S and a JVC HM100 video camera. The editing was accomplished on a MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro X software. I was paid handsomely for this video that’s been uploaded to several sharing sites. This was made months before I read IPhone Millionaire.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive. Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning. That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed. It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide. Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community. Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
