    🎤 Audio gear for podcasts and CZcams Videos we use or recommend

    And in the studio we use
    ►Rode VideoMic GO II amzn.to/3Skp837
    For podcasting I recommend using a dynamic microphone as it will reject a lot of room sound and background noise. The most important part is to make sure you are as close as you can comfortably be. Using a pop filter can help reduce sibilance and plosives as well.
    We just got a new dedicated audio recorder that is a much better option than using the camera's audio input - TASCAM 4-Channel Portable Audio Recorder - amzn.to/3FWPZxy

    ►Samson Technologies Q2U amzn.to/3BzqP63
    ►Shure SM7B Vocal Dynamic Microphone amzn.to/3BAmFL4
    Unless you have a really high quality preamp a level booster will give you a much cleaner sound
    ►Cloudlifter CL-1 Microphone Activator amzn.to/3DEuOkk
    ►Triton Audio FetHead amzn.to/3duCZFb
    ►Rode PSA1 Mic Arm amzn.to/3Uc3jno

    Loved the interview, Lucy! Jason is a good dude! I live in Virginia Beach and have driven by many of the locations he’s photographed. He’s also spot on - there’s so much commerce and “boring” in our area, unless you head to the ocean or a little further south. As a fellow CZcamsr/filmmaker/photographer, I’m in the middle of writing a short film about “finding style,” my own struggles with it, imposter syndrome, and the idea of whether it’s necessary as a photographer to feel like one needs to stand out in that way. I love that you touched on these ideas. Jason and I were planning on collaborating on the project for interview/photo walk content, and I’m excited to share when it’s done!

    Such a great interview, and I almost missed it, because I usually don't watch YT videos longer than 20 minutes. BUT... I'm so glad I did. I knew it would be interesting because I have enjoyed following both of you. I had to chuckle whenever one of you would mention age. I'm 77, so you can understand why. I leave in Virginia Beach, VA only about a 40 minute drive from Chesapeake. Would love to connect to Jason sometime. Suggestion: since Jason doesn't like doing podcasts on his own, maybe you two could do more of these.

    Honestly, I knew Jason was a cool guy, but this just absolutely confirms it. What a great interview Lucy! Such a killer episode. Thank you for opening up, Jason and being 100% you. Excited to hear your thoughts on FFXVI which Final Fantasy is your favorite Jason?

    • @jaserhunter
      @jaserhunter Před rokem +1

      So far, FFXVI has been pretty great. I'm probably halfway through at the moment. My favorite is the new 7 Remake because when the original came out I didn't really get the gravity of the story. Also, I'm excited to play 6 again with the pixel remaster too.

    • @emptypixels
      @emptypixels Před rokem

      @@jaserhunter I love that they’re remaking the originals whether it be pixel or full blown. There have been many that I’ve missed and I can’t wait to get through them all.
      I need to play the VII remake, I never got around to it but I’ll be honest I always felt the hype around VII was a bit over blown. My personal favorite is IX and the follow ups are VIII & X but maybe I’m just a product of my generation and getting a PlayStation well after VII came out 😂
      Thanks for the reply and I’m so glad you’re enjoying 16, I’ll have to pick it up! Maybe some day I’ll run into you on Destiny (I think you said you play), have a good one!

    Video @ 31:50 "50mm f/1.8 E - same glass as the more expensive one" - Not quite. The Series 'E' Nikon group of lens offerings, were produced to MUCH lower standards.
    The flare paint, coatings and adhesives that were utilized haven't been aging well (permanent fog/haze/frosting and Schneideritis issues)...

    37 years is Old?? I took my first photo at age 10 and I am still at it at 68, my efforts are still not good enough to display on social media (except to close friends), I use my two motorcycles as transport to photographic destinations and the pleasure is derived from the while experience, not the perfect shot.

    • @LucyLumen
      @LucyLumen  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Hey 👋🏻 a zine is derived from the word magazine and is just a self published DIY booklet that shows your work. Fanzines were a popular thing and a lot of the history is centred around music and underground cultural movements. Photography zines tend to be a bit higher quality but are a great way to share your work in print form. There are so many great videos on zines here on YT

    What does "keeping photography accessible" mean exactly?

    • @LucyLumen
      @LucyLumen  Před rokem +3

      Hey thanks for watching! To me keeping photography accessible means not gatekeeping it and not withholding any information about your gear, settings or process allowing others to learn from you or be inspired. I also mean it from a financial point of you as well in terms of promoting gear and mediums that aren’t totally out of reach to beginners or people who don’t have a high disposable income. I hope that explains it for you and hope you enjoy the chat!

  • @dergelenkspreizer5272

    Nice Intro talk. Without those trained gesture work. I really love listening but often it is a pain to watch. I guess you got some body language coaching for talking head approach. It is 30% too much. Nice channel though 👍🏻
