Only 102 episodes to go:
The complete Series 1 of my most-favorite-ever TV series, Northern Exposure, has been released on DVD. I’ve just ordered a copy for £25; very reasonable for a two-disc set that runs 6 hours. You can only buy it in the UK (the US studio has lucrative cable re-run income), and only in a limited-edition exclusively from www.hmv.co.uk. I started watching at the last episode of Series 2, so these early episodes will be new to me. (USA readers beware; this is a Region 2 PAL DVD, and won’t play on most US players).

Have you ever had any experience of putting recorded sound together with photographs? I was thinking of buying a microphone for my new minidisc player to record ambient sound while I take photographs. I could then present this along with the photographs as some kind of Flash page. Good plan?

The Fuji Finepix F601z digital camera – 468 quid from Sherwoods in the arcade across from Snow Hill rail station, central Birmingham. Does video, audio, 6mb digital images with manual control. Plus it’s small enough to slip in a shirt pocket and has a rechargable battery.
But if you’re sticking with the MiniDisc / chemical camera combo then remember you don’t need broadcast quality (Audio Technica with PASS cable for the Minidisc apparently) for the web – any old mike with a minidisc should be ok, although style points will be deducted from your street-cred if you use anything bought at Dixons 😉
Compression of audio with Flash is as simple as replacing the source wav in a .fla with another…

Sequence your photos/sound playback using Flash (or maybe Director or even Viewlet Builder). I think Flash MX comes with a photographer’s gallery template, to which adding sound shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
