I Just wanted to let you know about a blog (http://pcr2r.blogspot.com/)
I’ve created to park some of the videos I’ve done for the Post-Crescent.
Check it out when you get a chance. I’d love some feedback as this all
pretty new to me. You can post your comments on the blog site under
each individual video. As time permits in the coming weeks, I hope to
update every few days, so feel free to bookmark and visit anytime.

(3.14.2006) A number of state newspapers are exploring the expanded coverage options that video and audio can bring to their websites. The Appleton Post Crescent photojournalist Mike De Sisti employs a combination of editing skills and presentation styles that make him a unique frontrunner in the state for these still-developing communication forms.
We will feature nine of De Sisti’s video projects over the next several weeks one-by-one. This week, we are presenting “Sally’s Display”- the story of a woman who maintains an annual over-the-top Halloween decoration in her front yard.
