Radio Spa 29.01.09

I am now going to upload all my podcasts onto this blog. You can catch this show tonight on Radiospa.co.uk but as i'm away on holiday (yippie!) from tomorrow I wanted to get it uploaded before i scurried off!

I have invested in a lovely little mic too so the vocals are so much better quality!

Features Ciaran O'Brien too.....ooo fancy that!

Radio Spa 15.01.09

My first ever podcast, broadcast on Radio Spa two weeks ago....

Even though I am already picking holes in it I wanted to upload it to my blog so that you lot could have a listen!

This was recorded into garageband and without a proper mic (I just used the inbuilt mic hense the poor vocal quality)

So here you go:

Filming during the holiday!

Finally after about 10 long months I have managed to coordinate a trip into town with having my camera in my bag. Thus meaning all those amazing pictures of general goings on in my life have finally been extracted off the memory card and burnt onto disk. Would you believe?

So I can, at last, upload these pictures of the day that I helped out with the commercial music student's music videos.

phew!

This was during the filming, it was quite exciting to be on set and we were given lots to do. As a classic runner I was asked to collect, label and organise the tapes for each performance. We had 4 cameras on at a time shooting from different angles. There was a certain amount of creativity from the students but most of them opted for a layout like the artist above. Very much like a gig.



I really had presumed that because they had hired in a company from Bristol to do the filming we would be stood on the sidelines and allow the professionals to film and have all the creative ideas. In actual fact I spent most of the time during the day behind a camera filming the goings on. The director would suggest a shot and position the camera but during the filming it was up to you how you interpreted it.

Loved it! Well worth the sacrifice of one day of holiday!

For anyone who fancies having a listen I am going to be on radiospa.co.uk on Thursday 15th January 6-7pm!

please join the Radio Spa Facebook group (click here) . Its great to have a student radio station, we should start using it! Not just because we're doing a broadcast media course but because its a great way to get student opinions heard!

People have tried to set up student radio here at Spa before and have been unsuccessful....lets get this one to work!

woo!

Set in Stone

Here is my soundscape for you to have a listen:


Video Presentation: Radio Producer

back to it....

Ah my little fingers have had a rest over the holiday. Now here we are in the most confusing part of the year: the "inter-semester-break-which-is-not-really-a-break-but-it-will-be-soon-but-come-on-how-come-my-housemates-and-nextdoor-have-this-week-off-do-i-question-mark".

I have decided to ignore everything else and just carry on! So here we go more blogging action to come!

1) I shall be uploading a video of my presentation and asking why I keep glancing to the left during it.
2) I shall be uploading my soundscape
3) I shall then continue to blog like a goodun!

Happy new year!
