We had some fun (with real Gen Z energy)
We were 3 guys at my studio making some random content to practice making podcasts. Gaurav is 29 years old and has his own marketing agency. He has promised to help me monetize the studio. Rahul is 26 years old and works for a prominent business house making all their video interview content. I am 56 years old and a corporate lawyer working with a multinational.
Gaurav and Rahul met for the first time yesterday. I spent more than three hours with them. I must admit it was loads of fun packed into the time we spent together.
The first thing I learnt yesterday was to operate my studio lights via an app. The app makes everything so easy since all lights can be controlled via a single screen on my mobile. We installed our full colour light version. This adds to my collection of 2 bi-colour lights that I already have installed in my studio. We played with some red colour with the key light.
Next we learnt how to connect the audio transmitters to the receivers on my pocket series camera. This took a bit of time. Googling helped. It was actually simple to do once we understood how. I have been struggling to connect my transmitters since months! Silly me.

My dog Kiki was operated upon recently. During the healing period, she was given a collar to stop her from reaching the stitches. From the moment it was taken off, I could see this thing working like a softbox for my light from back in the days when we lived in Singapore. I used some ties and them wrapped around the collar to create my own DIY softbox. I feel kicked about it.
We then created some awesome content together. Initially, it was difficult to come up with something to talk about. But then we started talking about how my production journey should start soon now that we have everything ready. We discussed options and possibilities and what we could do together as a team. Gaurav offered to promote my studio to a friend in his network. Loads of interesting ideas.
