Store DJ – ZEN podcast set-up

store_dj_rode_zengarage_bag
Love the Store DJ bag all the gear came in.

store_dj_rode_zengarage
Gear came in 3 different packages over 2 days.

rode_procaster_zengarage_zenpodcasts_mic
These Procaster mics are solid and pretty much the same in design as the Podcaster minus the extra USB bits.

rode_procaster_zengarage_zenpodcasts_2
The Rode PSM1 shock mounts feature black hardware, the blacker the better!

rode_procaster_zengarage_zenpodcasts
A touch of ZEN and we’re good to go!

zoom_h6_zenpodcasts
The H6 is the heart of this setup. It’s a beast that will make all future group podcasts easy peasy.

screens
I’ve introduced a screen to the show too so I can display internet stuff during talks. It’s connected right into the laptop as a dual screen (I can choose to mirror too if I like).

rode_psa1
These Rode PSA1 arms aren’t cheap but they’re sturdy enough. One of them is already making noises though, could be because I live at the beach!

Getting there!!! There’s been a little bit of trial and error (in retrospect I would have avoided the USB only Rode Podcaster and just gone straight for XLR mics. But we’ve gotten there in the end, and the Podcaster isn’t wasted as it’ll still be used for solo podcasts.

All the gear was bought in the one place at Store DJ. I’m not at all affiliated with them but I thought I’d share.

ZENPODCAST #009 – Jonno Sea

As soon as Gab had left yesterday the doorbell rang. Thinking Gab had left something behind I ran downstairs and opened the door to find Jonno Sea! The interview gear isn’t here yet but I managed to get a makeshift 2 mic set-up going to record our catch up.

I’m a dick when I’m drunk, but hey it is what it is!

We discuss marriage, pole dancing, the rise and downfall of his coffee shop Black Betty, dirty secrets, haters, potential, relationships, gender debate, taking risks, living in the grey, society and so much more. Thanks to Jonno for having the balls to come on the show!

Good Morning Gabrielle

gab_bed_2

Shot with Gab yesterday, one of Lucy Fang’s good friends. We were aiming for those lazy Sunday feels but I didn’t think we quite got there in the end, mainly because I thought her makeup was way too heavy and those contacts are wild! She’s fun to shoot with though! I just think I needed to act faster, and in the moment I could have closed the blinds and done something much darker to suit her hair, eyes and makeup.

There’s always next time?

ZEN PODCAST #008 – Design Talk

In this podcast I do the intro part of an hour long motivational/inspirational design talk I do at design schools all over Sydney.

Note: This is the first video I’ve made with Premiere, which is a LOT more complex than iMovie that’s for sure! The video looks to be the wrong format, and the file has ended up being massive in size (making for a VERY slow upload). I’ve not bothered with any transitions as I couldn’t figure it out intuitively and there’s no intro or outro. I’ve tried to synch the audio track to the footage and it’s come out better than the previous iMovie vids in that regard but it’s still out of whack.

I’ll get there!

Looking to buy my 4th Honda Jazz…

justinfox_honda_jazz
I’ve not driven in over a year now. Crazy I know (MDT’s made me rage quit), but I’m starting to want a car again. I’m thinking a $5k beater Honda Jazz (my 4th one!) would be perfect, anyone got any leads or suggestions?

Banned off Facebook for 30 Days

faceboob
Fuck you Mark Zuckerberg.

I’m slowly but surely getting over being banned off Facebook for 30 days (thanks to fuckers reporting my Australia Day photos). I don’t use email, and use messenger instead so communication has been FUCKED for me for the past week. I can see people’s messages, but can’t reply. I can’t make a post on my page to say I’ve been banned for 30 days. End of the day I only have myself to blame for putting a few too many eggs in the social media basket!

Our ZEN Track Day Duffle Bags have landed from Italy! This has been years in the making, and it’s our first real product, real as in designed (IE: we didn’t just slap a ZEN logo on a bag, we designed this ground up!). It’s our new direction going forwards!

I’ve only made 50 of them and will keep 10 and sell the other 40 in the shop. The quality is so fucking unreal. I’m so stoked!

We’e priced these way under the usual 100% markup as we’d rather people rock them1 Find these bags in the shop!
