Boom
I bought a monopod for a camera, mounted the microphone on it and used it as my boom mike. After some teething troubles (I unwrapped the cable from arround the metal tube because I'm sure it was causing interference) it worked quite well.
Despite the suspension the mic still picks up the scrapes and squeaks as I shift the boom, and clinks as the cable waves into things, so I'm learning the art of holding it perfectly still for a whole take.

Venn.tv
Venn now has a home- www.venn.tv.
Now that that is sorted out I can do some more work on finding funding and rewriting the first two episodes. The first draft of the new versions is a bit naughtier than the previous versions.

Venn - more designs
I'm about to put together a promo booklet for Venn, to send to possible investors, and today I've done a couple of rough designs for the cover.


It also seemes appropriate to redo the relationships diagram as a Venn diagram.

Venn - Episode 0
This is the teaser episode for the upcoming series from Spinneyhead Presents. I'm working on a business plan to film at least one episode a month and back them up with workshop and "how to" pieces.

Venn title logo ideas
A few ideas for the Venn title logo that I sketched over Christmas. Episode 0 is going to have a simpler logo.
