A photo of Trump in the Oval Office had the caption: “Minute 11.” He had just held a rally, demanding that heavily-armed supporters, who later marched to the Capitol, be allowed in. He chose not to act.”Ĭongresswoman Elaine Luria noted that Trump was told that the Capitol was under attack within 15 minutes of leaving the stage at the Ellipse near the White House. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican member of the panel, summed up: “President Trump did not fail to act during the 187 minutes between leaving the Ellipse and telling the mob to go home. Thompson and Cheney delivered pithy statements about Trump’s dereliction of duty.

The details were set out with the committee’s now customary slick and pacy presentation, cutting seamlessly from video deposition to 3D graphic, from archive footage to document excerpt, from Trump tweet to live witness. It was not so much Nero fiddling while Rome burns as Nero dancing maniacally in the flames.

What he did do was watch TV in his dining room next to the Oval Office, phone senators in a bid to make them delay the certification of his election defeat byJoe Biden, and call his unhinged lawyer and fellow coup-plotter Rudy Giuliani. As his enraged supporters stormed the US Capitol, the president did not call them off or contact senior law enforcement or military officials who could have curbed the violence as the US Capitol Police and city police were vastly outnumbered. Whereas the first seven hearings set out unforgivingly what Trump had done, this one told a gripping story about what he did not do, for 187 minutes on 6 January 2021. Once proceedings were under way beneath two giant chandeliers and the high, ornately-carved ceiling, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal – who had been trapped in the House balcony on January 6 – could be seen fighting back tears as the scenes of carnage were replayed on a big screen. It buzzed with the anticipation of reporters, photographers, TV camera operators, police officers, congressional aides and spectators. To be in the Cannon Caucus Room as it all unfolded was to feel electricity in the air.
Congress has certified the results – I don’t want to say the election’s over.”Ġ2:07 Trump says ‘I don’t want to say the election is over’ in outtake video message – video There were chilling details of a US vice-president’s staff calling their families because they feared death as the rioters closed in, having breached the Capitol that January 6 afternoon there were damning stories about Trump watching an insurrection for hours on live TV and resisting pressure from senior staff to intervene there were comical glimpses of a rightwing senator fleeing the mob he had emboldened.Īnd from outtakes on 7 January there was the defining image of Trump struggling to read a teleprompter, stumbling over simple words such as “yesterday”, and especially those that acknowledged he was a loser, and banging the presidential lectern like a frustrated child.
Yet with Liz Cheney in the chair and Goldston in the editing suite, a Grand Guignol was guaranteed. Some viewers might have been disappointed on Thursday by the absence of chairman Bennie Thompson due to coronavirus (though he did join to open and close the hearing via video link). Give that man an Emmy (if only to infuriate Trump, a TV obsessive). Pond5 has a catalogue of 1.6m music tracks alongside 30m video clips and 1.7m sound effects, with Shutterstock paying $210m in cash to bring that catalogue into its business – as well as giving its own catalogue more reach via Pond5.Much of the credit must go to James Goldston, the former president of ABC News, who was brought in to help produce the hearings like a true crime series. Shutterstock has also made another specific music move, acquiring the assets of AI music startup Amper Music in November 2020. That’s a model that Shutterstock is very familiar with: it added a catalogue of music to its stock video library back in 2014, then more recently in late 2019 launched an all-you-can-eat subscription offering for that catalogue. However, Pond5 also has a big library of stock music tracks, which it licenses alongside its video business.
The deal is an acquisition: Shutterstock has bought Pond5, which sells royalty-free video to the likes of Netflix, Disney, the BBC, Discovery Channel and NBC for use in their programming. There is more consolidation afoot in the world of stock video, and that’s a world where music is now increasingly prominent too. Tags: Acquisitions Pond5 production music Shutterstock
