Micro Film - Ep. 4: Partners in Crime & Cell Phone Hi-Jinx

It took a while to get episode four up as I had a heck of a time finding a chance to chat with my guest - my FIRST guest, director Craig March.

This is also my first attempt to use my new mini digital recorder. Honestly the sound isn’t great. But it lets me get out and do interviews in the world. I’ll have to do more experiments - and probably get an outboard microphone.

It’s my biggest episode yet in size, ambition and engineering… though I know I still have a ways to go before I can really claim proficiency, I do feel proud of how far I’ve come since episode one. I actually regularly tell people to skip episode one due to the sound… and the fact that it’s pretty much just my mandate and credentials. But at this point I’ll suggest that you go back and listen to a minute or two for comparison and yuks.

SHOW NOTES: (Sorry they’re a bit late.)

First up… what the heck? I’m not sure what happened. The music sounds like heck! I’ll have to look into that. Sounded fine when I originally tested the file… hmmm. If I can fix it I’ll adjust it and re-upload.

(Okay, I’ve fixed that now, but I’m leaving up the original note as a record of where I have come from… which may be a bit presumptuous!)

I’ve already posted these first two links in association with another episode:

My company, co-owned by this episodes’ guest, Craig March: Provost Pictures… and the blog to our project “Beast of Bottomless Lake.”

The Okanagan Film Commission – who were very helpful to us in producing ‘Beast…’ and we mention in the interview.

For the record… a day later I called the telemarketer who called during the interview (They called six times in one day!) back and it turned out that they had a fairly straight forward system for getting me removed from their calling list… you’d think that never answering the phone might have given them the clue, eh?

And this week’s link: nycresource.com

And of course… the music was provided by The Pucks.

And a link to info in Biz Books’ “How to Start…” series.

P.S. If anyone has a notion what might have gone wrong with the music, let me know - sound is really not my area of expertise (if that is obvious).
