...I get to experience the Ken Burns effect.


Ken Burns, iconic documentary filmmaker, is coming to Chautauqua tomorrow. He is known for, of all things, his use of panning across still photographs — something called "the Ken Burns effect." Tough I've yet to watch any of his documentaries in full, I can certainly appreciate his work from the clips that I've seen. Here's a nice montage that was aired when he received a Lifetime Achievement honor at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards in 2008.
