And together with his business partner, Eric Shelkie, he’s built a handful of useful side projects, including Officehours, Campnab, and Emetti, to name a few. The Question: How do we slow down and focus on what really matters? I was sent a link to one of Eric’s blog articles , How to Keep Sane, In Faketopia. After reading it, I sent Eric an email and asked him to tell me more about the ideas from his article. In our conversation we talk about the fakery in social media, the idea that feeding the ‘social media beast’ doesn’t do anything to help our us reach our career goals, and how being real about what’s most important can help us get more out of life and work alike. In short, we’re talking about how to tidy up our list of priorities.

Niles Grey – Filmmaker 29:55

Niles Grey is a filmmaker and director with experience working independently and on the content teams at both GoPro and Moment. His work at GoPro and Moment has given him a unique experience leveraging the every-improving technology found in small cameras, most recently, mobile phones. The Question “What attracts you to these little cameras?” The Notes This week we discuss the benefits of shooting films with a “small footprint,” as Niles puts it. While mobile phone photography and cinematography are paces behind what industry professionals use for major productions, the technology is advancing and shrinking at an incredible rate. With a little help from small hardware add-ons and apps that give users access to manual controls, people like Niles (and really, all of us) can create content that defies the expectation of such a ubiquitous piece of technology. In this episode, we also hear a little bit from Able Parris (AKA: Kamuter). Able makes music entirely on his iPhone, furthering the idea that mobile phones can be used for so much more than watching movies or playing games. Create With Your Phone The Moment App This one works with iPhone and Android. Access to log mode and raw photo mode. Great for still photography and video. Free with optional upgrade to “pro” via in-app purchase (for $4.99) Auxy App for iOS. This is what Able Parris uses for his Kamuter project. Mobile music creation studio with tons of sounds and effects. Free with limited demo sounds. Free trial with everything unlocked and a monthly subscription to use all the sounds. This one is addicting, even in “Demo mode.” More? If you have a favorite app for creating awesome stuff, tell us about it. Send us a tweet at @OTRQpodcast! Giveaways This week we are giving away a Moment Anamorphic lens, worth about $150! At the end of this episode, we’ll announce the winner of the giveaway from episode 007.

Not this episode, but another attempt at an interview, was created a year ago. After this first draft of sorts was created, I sat on the project for almost a full year. And so, I’ve called Seth back to ask about his experience with projects that get stuck in limbo.

Leslie Chapman is a Canadian goldsmith from Yukon Territory. In the 70’s she and her husband left Calgary Alberta as part of the “back to the land” movement, building their own home in an area that they would later discover was a gold mineral deposit. This would lead to another discovery, the art of goldsmithing. The Question: “How important is your connection with the source of your materials to your creative work and process?” Leslie shares some insights about what she calls a “chain of custody.” From environmentally conscious gold mining practices to hand forming each piece of jewelry, the objects she is designing pass from the earth, into her hands, and finally into the hands of her customers.

Understanding where a creative comes from can go a long way in understanding their creative work. Sinkane (the music of Ahmed Gallab) writes music rich with references to his homeland, Sundan. In this episode, Sinkane talks about how his parents moved the family from Sudan to the United States after the government was overthrown in the late 1980’s. He answers the question, “What role does your history and your origins as a Sudanese American have on the music that you write?” Sinkane is one of my favorite musicians right now, producing African inspired music that connects the listener to his story. Sinkane also acted as the musical director for the supergroup ‘The Atomic Bomb! Band,’ a tribute to Nigerian musician William Onyeabor.
