Using almost all archival footage from NYT, this project was a mammoth edit job. We watched many many hours of footage to find the moments you see in here - the moments, that for myself and the team, reveals NYT journalists as humans, not just a name at the end of an article. We found moments of doubt, sadness, hilarity and joy which we brought together with soundbites of from interviews. The ‘By’ frames the entire edit. The anchor that the edit keeps coming back to. The point is to remind the viewer that there are humans behind the articles we read, humans that are working with passion and dedication to bring us The New York Times. It was immensely rewarding to work on this. Thanks to Dan Sherwen and Droga 5.
