Funny stuff, Rich. We need more of this understated humor on the internet.

Craig, you don't listen. The adapter works for mini-jack to cinch, for example the headphone output of your iPod to a stereo amplifier, but the other way is just horror. You've got a good mike, why don't you make up your mind and buy either a Juicedlink or Beachtek or a Tascam? Or you could go from XLR to mini-jack directly, with a short cable (wired in the right way, a friend of mine built such an adapter for himself, works) no problem. And then, your mixer is probably AC-bound, how practical is that? I understand, you have not much money. Then take your time with your limited equipment and concentrate on the imagery. Don't try to buy [i]everything[/i] for 500 $. There are good shorts without any dialogue. Be patient. Do something now. Wait for the occasions to buy more and better (or the right) things. As an amateur (or beginner, if you find [i]amateur[/i] insulting), you will never be able to have exactly the equipment you are dreaming of. The enemy of art is the absence of limitations.

So that was awesome... I'm thoroughly convinced Sigur Ros is like bacon. Put that shit on anything and it becomes at least 36% better... This should win a contest though.... or has it already.

I once was camera assistant for a video doc shot on SD U-matic high called [i]beauty & awareness[/i], produced by some rich german, lifted women, who sought spirituality in their lavish lifestyle. They invited a fat american female guru, the whole show was in american english, with the germans trying to sound californian above their heavy german accent. The rooms were white and lit with soft bounced highkey, smoothing their skin. They took each other by the hands and expressed their dedication to beauty, that came out of a pure heart. In the end, the guru performed a playback to Michael Jacksons [i]man in the mirror[/i], and it became apparent that she was a transvestite. Ever since I discovered youtube, I tried to find the film, but couldn't. Perhaps I misunderstood your approach, but nothing is funnier than reality.
