Lam Thuy Vo: April 2012
http://lamivo.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Evolution of an Infographic: What America Buys. So, I've re-entered the realm of making data look pretty and informative, after spending the past few years in the realm of video. The two things that have been pretty interesting:. 1) There's plenty of data out there, just never the kind of data set you want. Getting that data set takes a lot of phone calls and pestering people. That's what happened here. That was a little too minimalist and somewhat confusing. Update: later the th...

Lam Thuy Vo: November 2011
http://lamivo.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 9, 2011. How we made our maps Hacks/Hackers NYC. From a blogpost I wrote for Hacks/Hackers:. When a story is best told through a visual representation of geography, maps are often the best way of telling it. Three journalists joined Hacks/Hackers NYC. To explain how they approached mapmaking for their recent projects. Slides and code from their presentations are available in this link bundle. Read the whole post here:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, November 1, 2012. Recent Work: Halloween On Wall Street 2012. I spent yesterday evening walking around lower Manhattan for an NPR blog post. Which was deserted. Much of that part of the city is still without electricity. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader.

Lam Thuy Vo: January 2012

Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Video Editing: A Skill Worth Fine Tuning. Another blogpost I did for ONA. Please see it here: http:/ journalists.org/2012/01/30/video-editing-a-skill-worth-fine-tuning/. Throughout my time at the Wall Street Journal I edited a lot of videos that were shot by other reporters, often print reporters new to the joy of filmmaking. This has taught me two things:. How to become a better shooter (knowing what and how to shoot). How important editing is in storytelling. I tried to use s...

Lam Thuy Vo: March 2013
http://lamivo.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 24, 2013. Behind The Scenes: Unfit For Work - The Startling Rise of Disability in America. I thought I knew the state of the economy in the U.S. I cover the jobs report on a monthly basis for my current gig at Planet Money and have looked at so many spreadsheets about the U.S. economy that I can cite last month's unemployment rate in my sleep. It seemed like disability had become a safety net for many lower-skilled workers who were struggling to find work:. Will air this weekend. But number...

Lam Thuy Vo: Data Docs - an Attempt at Dynamic Video
http://lamivo.blogspot.com/2012/11/data-docs-attempt-at-dynamic-video.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. Data Docs - an Attempt at Dynamic Video. A few months ago, I was asked by PBS/POV to partake in a hackathon. Filmmakers were paired with developers and online specialists. I was pulled in to assist the very talented Joe Posner. With animated op-ed videos. Our developer partner was Susan McGregor. We ended up conceptualizing a completely different project that we named " Data Docs. We're hoping to get this done sometime before the end of this year. Fingers crossed! Jami Makan -...

Lam Thuy Vo: December 2011
http://lamivo.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 28, 2011. At the end of October, I was caught in storm. Thick flakes sped diagonally towards the concrete. It was the first snow of the winter and the first time I'd experienced temperatures this low in two years. That is how I found myself in that storm. I was dreading an empty apartment, wanted to feel productive, nay, cultured, and ran from my apartment to the subway, from the subway to another subway, and from that subway to a bookstore to sit down and listen to Junot Diaz talk.
