Los Angeles Times Videographer and perennial SSA Faculty member, Myung Chun, came home from SSA VIII this past weekend to the exciting news that a documentary piece he worked on the LA Times had won an Emmy Award.
Caught in the Crossfire: Victims of Gang Violence, a story founded by LA Times staff photographer, Barbara Davidson, that won the Pulitzer earlier in the year won in the category: NEW APPROACHES TO NEWS & DOCUMENTARY PROGRAMMING: DOCUMENTARIES. Myung shot all the interview footage for the project. Barbara and former intern, Carlo Rinaldi, shot the on-location b-roll on the intern’s 8mm film camera. Many, many people (around 20 including web programmers and designers) worked on the project but, they’re not all named. According to Myung, this wouldn’t have been possible without everyone’s effort.
From the official Emmy website the award reads as follows:
