The videographer is someone who utilizes moving or still pictures to tell a story to an audience. Sometimes the videographer works with made-up scripts, special effects and indoor sets that will help communicate the story. At other times the videographer goes out into a community to videotape actual events and interviews with local people that will help communicate the story. These videos of actual people and events are called documentaries. 4, record 1, English, - video%20artist

As gaming systems grew more powerful and made the leap from 2-dimensions to full-color 3D [three-dimensional], the video game artist's job became too much for one person to handle. Now, the job that was once done by a single artist has fragmented into many different art specialties, each with its own suite of tools and techniques that take a lifetime to master. 1, record 4, English, - video%20game%20artist
