Sgt. Jennifer Calaway, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, has been selected as the DVIDS Videographer of the Month for her work covering Operation Moshtarak in Afghanistan and her overall technical execution. <br />
Several of Calaway's Moshtarak videos, including "Generals Address Troops" and "Operation Moshtarak Interviews and B-Roll," were featured on national and local media outlets like CNN, Yahoo News and KSLA-TV. She also produced footage of the flag raising ceremony that took place in Marjah, Feb. 25, which ran on Fox News, Sky News and Washington, D.C.’s WJLA-TV. <br />
Calaway’s technical execution was superb. She had good exposure, nice framing, clear audio and provided detailed slate information. Her shot selections were visually appealing and useful to external media. Her video packages were also well produced and have been used by internal military media including the repeated airing of "Now Zad Reconstruction" on the Pentagon Channel. When conducting interviews for sound bites in her b-roll and packages, she chose appealing backgrounds for her subjects. <br />
Finally, Calaway stayed in communication with the DVIDS video editors whenever changes or updates needed to be made. She also included her e-mail address on her slates, making it easier for the editors and media specialists to get in touch. show less
