New Multimedia Slideshow on the Kenyan Crisis

All the best

Indeed, much of the sound came from Kibera in the days of mass action, namely the singing and gunshots. The rest is a mishmash of Naivasha, Nakuru and Mathare. Hope you’re well and settled back in Cairo.

Anton,

The program I used was soundslides. And as for recording sound, I just put my audio recorder in the cellphone holster of my backpack and ran with it.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Some very courageous images in there… especially the machete one. Taking pictures like that puts your own neck on the line, and can be very scary.

But to me, the audio is what really keeps this thing together. Very powerful audio and selection of music.

How did you record in the thick of it (gunshots, riot sounds etc.)? Did you just leave her runnin with the mic hanging out a pocket?

I also enjoyed how thoroughly you covered it from beginning to end.

Thanks for sharing.

No external mic….just the Roland Edirol R-09 in a little pocket on my backpack. It picked up mostly eveything…including my cellphone conversations and cursing. For direct interviews I took it out of the pocket and directed it at my subject. That little machine is excellent quality and records in WAV or mp3. With an external mic you can make top notch studio recordings.

Cheers,

A

Yeah, ive been using the R-09 for a while now too…

But have used it in mostly controlled audio situations… so was very impressed by your action audio…

Thanks for the advice!
