being both a videomaker and a qualitative researcher

some frames from the videoreport - a woman cleaning her coffee machine

I have just been asked to make a videoreport about an ethnographic research that has been managed in Germany and France. The unusual thing was that I didn't take part of the project (no interviews, no report, nothing at all!). The qualitative institute just asked me to watch the ethnographic sessions, then to arrange the videoreport.
Although, at first, I was a bit baffled... actually, it has been a really interesting job. As far as I am a qualitative researcher, I'm pretty sure my video editing job has been much more interesting if compared to the one that a video-editing consultant could have done.
Once again, a further confirmation that being both a qualitative researcher and a video maker can be a strength :-)
