Pixelcorps :: Days 3 and 4
Well I’m back from San Francisco with a much heigtened awareness of podcasting as well as audio and video production technique.
Alex Lindsay is a wonderful teacher and displays an intense passion for what he does. If you’re interested in production or podcasting – I highly recommend that you keep an eye on the Pixel Corps Website and find a way to get to San Francisco to take one of his workshops when he hosts them. I’ve also been given an honorary membership to the PixelCorps and plan on being a member for a long while.
Day 3 centered around video production and how MacBreak is produced. This included a fairly intensive green screen tutorial with both physical setup as well as using software (Conduit) to achieve excellent results. I definitely plan on introducing this into our production at the Museum just as soon as we can get the space set up. Space is a premium at my workplace and I hope this doesn’t take forever to implement. We shall see… Day 3 also included some filming of MacBreak with Justine talking about Spore. Spore I couldn’t care less about – but a great session to sit in on either way.
Day 4 pretty much was free form filling in questions that we as students had about various topics in podcasting. We also discussed setting up templates, Motion effects and a more in depth view of audio production. The week concluded with discussions of sustainability… how to get listeners and how to deal with server issues, syndication and feed projects from one another.
