My usual weekly surfing adventure turned up a few projects worth your time and attention, and I threw in two links to quality post on shotgun mics and sound in multimedia projects.
1. Kroo Bay
Beautiful interface, panos and strong storytelling.
2.Salt
SALT is the story of award winning and internationally renowned photo-artist, Murray Fredericks on his annual solo pilgrimage to the heart of Lake Eyre in the remote north corner of South Australia. It is a piece on the personal journey of the artist, the creative process and the landscape itself.
3.NPR In Other Words
Welcome to i.e., home of the creative musings and journalistic explorations of the forty-odd interns at National Public Radio. “In other words” means you can expect a few things. Fresh content — or experiments in things unexpected. Unique perspective — reporters early in their careers. And thanks to the internet, original delivery — mixed mediums and then some.
4.Jericos
5.VOLUPTAS
6. My Name is Dechen
A haunting meditative piece, you won’t soon forget.
7.Tracking Smugglers
Border agents in New Mexico rely on tracking skills borrowed from Native Americans to intercept drug smugglers who cross the border on foot. It’s a 75-mile walk to a drop point on Interstate 10. Photography and audio by Don Bartletti / Los Angeles Times
8.American Poverty
TO USE VISUAL MEDIA TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT POVERTY IN THE UNITED STATES, DISPEL INACCURATE AND DESTRUCTIVE STEREOTYPES ABOUT POOR PEOPLE AND ENCOURAGE ACTION ON THEIR BEHALF.
Which shotgun should I buy?
A good quality shotgun mic will zero in and “reach” a few feet directly in front of the mic while at the same time rejecting sound from the sides. This is great for picking out just the sounds you want and is the most desirable and common microphone for DV filmmakers. A question we hear from most new camcorder owners is, “Which shotgun mic should I buy?” This usually happens after they shot some awesome footage, but later found that they can’t quite make out the intriguing dialogue from what was a light breeze but somehow now burgeons whips, rumbles and howls like a tornado.
