They were originally designed for video conferencing, but produce a great image.

They may or may not be better than what Jim is using currently, but…

What he said. You can always dirty up sound when you want it, but you need to capture clean first.

Also, look at the recording setup. I'm guessing Jim is doing his piece into a webcam on a laptop?…

First time I met Jimmy at your place, we startled each other when I literally bumped into him coming out of the bathroom fiddling with my fly. True story, and thank God things improved from…

That’s a really lovely post. And it makes the important point that things aren’t static.

Table or standard lamp or some-such pointing back (from the darker side) would be nice- would get some reflections in glasses, but also an 'eye/catch light – worth trying.
There are lots of mic options…

From what I've checked, Elevator is exclusive to Auckland. Emerge is probably the closest Wellington equivalent.

Yeah it’s noticeable and appreciated. Cruising the boards at IMDB.com I stumble upon many links to reviews, but so often there is too much focus, as you say, on the media around the films and in those instances I’m also often left with the feeling…

Which is the great thing about Jim's reviews. He thinks hard about why he felt a certain way about a movie. The answer might take two days of thinking to come, but he does the thinking.

And thanks for the tech tips. We'll work on…

I guess as parents we just have to be patient – our support just needs to go on and on while others’ adult children maybe sort out their own lives. And celebrate the victories when they happen.

(Contains violence, bad words and drug use, and is very funny in a low-key Irish way.)
