Video taking over

Via Press Gazette

Rachael Gallagher reports that

"It is only a matter of time before paparazzi will be armed only with video cameras, " that is according to Gary Morgan, co-founder of Britishowned US-based showbiz news agency Splash.

Morgan goes on to say that Splash still send a still photographer to assignments but only now beacause video technology is not at the correct standard for printing stills.

The potential for video is clear

"In February this year, Splash made $1m from the sale of controversial video footage of the last moments of Anna Nicole Smith's life that showed Hollywood medics trying to revive her outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel.
That figure is largely down to the exclusivity of the footage, rather than the quality, but video footage has the advantage of ensuring that split-second incidents are are not missed."
