That Time I Played at Podcasting…and Fell In Love.

Here is the podcast that I made for class. I had a lot of fun making it. I ended up using Adobe Premiere to put all of the audio together and checked out an Audio-Technica M-Audio Microtrack II from Shoen Library to record myself speaking. The intro/Outro music is titled Kamera and is performed by Wilco. I hope you guys enjoy this. I had a lot of fun putting this together and think that with a bit of practice I could really get into this podcasting thing.

Photography Talk

Follow Jake Carlsen’s Blog on WordPress.com

Well I have begun writing my podcast episode. I have decided to talk about one of my favorite photography exercises. It was born out of a bit of advice from a friend that had noticed that I was getting a little too caught up in the gear that I was bringing to a session rather than the session itself. I think that it is going to be fun. I just hope that talking about such a visual process will translate to audio well. I have listened to a good number of other people attempting similar things and I think it can be done. Wish me luck.

What are the topics that the rest of you have chosen? I have seen some of them being mentioned in the Twitter discussion for #LIT306, but I haven’t heard them all yet.

Coming Up With Some Ideas

Follow Jake Carlsen’s Blog on WordPress.com

Well I have been listening to some new podcasts today. One of them that stands out to me the most is The Candid Frame: A Photography Podcast. In the bit I have listened to, it seems that the show centers around the host interviewing artists that interest him and having them share a bit about themselves and the process that they use to make images. In a way, he is providing a how-to podcast and a good interview as well. I have a few more shows to listen to, but this one really has me thinking. I have an artist that I would love to interview about her growth from photography and into other mediums…maybe I can make an interesting show out of it.

How is everyone else coming along? Have you come up with any ideas based on what you have been listening to? Are you already under way recording your podcast?

In my TOC presentation, I ended up sounding like I was almost asleep while I spoke. I am wondering how I will go about making myself be a bit more lively while speaking in this project. Any suggestions?

Reading, reading, reading.

Today has been, and will continue to be, a day full of reading. I started the day reading from my new pocket edition of The Hobbit and then proceeded to read the news while eating breakfast. After that, I began reading through some works that I began last term that I had decided to put down for a bit and come back to, see if I can find a new way into them and make them something I will want to submit. Then I started reading a dear friend’s script that he wrote for a pilot he will be filming in a couple months. I am about a third of the way through the script and am loving it. I think that Don is on to something good here and I am honored that he thought I should give it a look and maybe even share some of my thoughts about it. All in all, it has been a fantastic day. I hope you all are having a similar experience.

Bossy Software

Follow Jake Carlsen’s Blog on WordPress.com

Well I am back to work with Adobe Voice. The more I use it, the more I am enjoying the experience of working with the software. I was a little bummed to find that either you cannot add video (or it is not super clear how you go about adding video to the presentation). I’ve gotten past this, though, and am moving along with building my project for LIT 306. My new favorite feature of this app is that it nags you once your audio clip goes beyond 10 seconds. I have not seen if there is a limit that it will place on the length of a clip, but the reminder that it is better to keep things short and sweet and have plenty of cuts from one frame to another is a great thing (especially for me). I have a real love for going on and on and on when I get into a stride with something, but this app is helping me remain mindful of this and keep things short and sweet.
