Memorizations Relations


Took some video footage today of Timmy's Birthday at the MiniGolf Castle in Sherman Oaks. That's not exactly what it's called. I've been using the

DCR-SR42 30GB Handycam® Camcorder

from Sony for a lot of my personal journalizing lately. Takes a good quality standard-def picture... I like the colors it gets, especially while in Super NightShot mode, which mixes visual and infrared spectral signals into a hybrid output that's one part spooky, eight parts useful, and three parts exciting, depending on the compositions you are able to put together. Use your head.
The camera is flexible, small, reasonably quick... I like the zoom motor control. Tolerates a subtle touch. But,,, you may desire more manual controls, focus and exposure controls... Man, get yourself a different camera then. Shit, man. Don't look for conflict in your life. Look for opportunity. Everybody's drunk and they want to go home right now. People are ill. Party bitters. It can all change in an instant.

Remember things for your stories and tell your stories and share. And the sharing should be sharing. And then you don't have to worry about getting it all or missing moments or whatnot. They will be what they will be, and you get what you get and sometimes you are more active in seeking out what you are looking for and other times you look for the things that seek you out... But regardless, others will remember and tell and hopefully share stories. We will all share, BUT,,, because I've got 30 GB of hard disk drive space onboard my cam, and because I have editing capabilities at home and at work, and because memory is cheap these days, I am able to produce memorizations--representations of lifemoments that benefit from plentiful flexible footage sources. Most specifically the

DCR-SR42 30GB Handycam® Camcorder

, which allows me hours and hours of shooting opportunities and quick access. Sleek and nimble. Doesn't take too long to boot up from cold. Offloads as .mpeg files that Premiere 2.0 reads just fine. I use that programme on a PC computer.
And, for the record, I believe firmly that memorizations and journalizations are sisterizations, and, when taken together by the media-literate (which all preschoolers ought to be started on, education-wise), are totally great ways to rememberize things.

Greatest Virals Product

Howdy, Ya'all!
Just a quick 4:30ish post for yooandyers over yonder:
Working hard to crank out some genius today with Broadcaster Andrew--a Review and Response Special Product entitled "100 Greatest Viral Videos" or something like that (it's a secret project so I can't accurately quote the actual name). Going well, BA's a pro-fessEO-NAHL. Fo'SERRRs.

Mid-Week MonoCross


Middle o'the Week here at Broadcaster News, and the J.E.R.K. Squad (Journalize, Entertain, Report, Karate) is busy attacking a number of mid-week concerns (MWCs), which factor among them Data Double-Backup, Peripheral Edit-Storming, Focus-Source Entertainment Typing, and Advanced Plan-Acting. All very important, to be sure, but I'm not exactly chomping at the bit or jumping out of my seat or whatever. Hahah! Just kidding. Of course I am.
And let me just say, in this valuable Off-Time Reflective Moment, that this last two weeks of Broadcaster News has really seen some big, expressive steps forward for all of us. Formats have cracked, flexibilities have been tested; in the end, I am proud to report that our Squad is now gearing itself toward a Position of Industry Dominance! More on this exciting prospect soon! Stay tuned!

Microphone Schema


Yesterday I used for the first time a Sennheiser ew112-p G2 wireless lavalier setup with Broadcasters Amy and Andrew for their Reviews and Snap Judgment™ segments. Two kits, actually, with two transmitters and two receivers. Both receivers kept in close proximity in the top pocket of my TASCAM's Portabrace. Low interference, satisfactory noise floor, although it alarmed my ears upon first computer playback following my TYPE-A(my) sound intelligence processing. Noise was greased away by capturing each take's sample "Noise Profile" and then applying a custom noise cancellation filter, which didn't degrade voice quality appreciably considering the segment's final flash video publication format. Head of Post Broadcaster Jody assured me he could easily synthesize two discreet microphone channels spanning a stereo track into his workflow, which eases one particular procedural burden rather significantly on my end. Great job Broadcaster Jody! Our Champion of Media Synthesis (CMS)!

Hello there, broadcasters! It is Monday Morning, and a faint, blue light illuminates the glossy, moist surfaces of the formless internet void!
Broadcaster Miller's educational foray into the Las Vegas Mediascape this weekend was, by all accounts, successful as an all-terrain hurricane clambake! Congratulations go to all involved...
Today both Broadcasters Amy and Andrew will be on hand, and a new microphone scheme will be tested. If you are a fan of schemes, stay tuned!

Monday, October Uno

It's almost 10:o0 here at Broadcaster News and an exciting day of Journalization is already underway! At 11:o0 Broadcaster Amy will show up and we will get to the business of News Facts Reporting (NFR)! Her voice is toned and flexible, bright and magnetic, with just the perfect amount of the world massaged gracefully into every performance. Broadcaster Andrew will also be on hand today, to deliver this Nation's Greatest Reviews (NGR) in his charismatic, characteristic stentorian rasp of which I've grown so fond as of late. Fireworks anybody? I thought so!

Love,
Broadcaster Miller
