It’s difficult to post everything on Social Media, as Instagram will flag stuff; Cara does not yet allow NSFW (meaning nudity of any kind). Mastodon so far has the best methods, allowing me to add…

    So one of my recent projects with CG Cookie was producing the DeNoise podcast. It was a few months of wrangling the team to help test a method of recording; figuring out best practices for audio and video capture, and eventually editing the content into a coherent product.

I put everything into the production to make sure all techniques, tips and methods were the most up-to-date, easy to follow and…
