With the series finale of Missing Live on Good Friday, it’s both sad and a relief that 4 weeks of mayhem have come to an end. I’m relieved because a nasty cold caught me with my pants down last week and I can do with some recovery time; at the same time I’m sad because …
Let me start by bringing you a classic video from the past: none other than Phil Fearon and Galaxy, “Everybody’s Laughing”. I remember listening to this a lot 20 years ago, it brings back memories. Enjoy! I’m currently busier than every, and it’s really enjoyable too (and accounts for the lack of updates recently). Let …
A perk of freelance work is the occasional free food that comes with a strenuous long shift. When we do Premier League at the weekend, we get a meal from http://www.deliverance.co.uk, and of course Burger and Chips is a classic among colleagues. Deliverance send food into West London and cook anything from Chinese, Thai, Indian, …
Excellent! Bloody excellent is all I can say! But to get a consistent review across the board, we’ll have to define some variables first that make up a good burger. I tend to expect a ballpark figure of £10 for such a meal. Here’s my thoughts on this one: THE BURGER: SUPERB stuff. About an …
I should have realsied this much earlier than this week, but I have a confession to make: I love Burger and Chips. Any variation, any time, and place. So I thought maybe I’ll document my Burger and Chips journey thorughout the following months, with detailed pictures and descriptions where you can find the best burger …
We have integrated a brand new JOBS section at the top of the page. The idea of integrating community features into the site has been on the cards for a while, with the intention of bringing broadcasters and freelancers together (thanks to Jahlene Joseph for the suggestion). Just when we were exploring how to do …
I’ve just has this great new idea for a brand new art project: Yeah Right! Let me tell you all about it hot off the press: There’s something very wrong with our society – most of it concerns stupid messages around town. We’re plastered with things like “go to Canada” or “watch this programme” or …
There’s nothing like putting an old greasy waste product on a £600 scanner, pressing a button and calling it “art”. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to a brand new series right here on versluis.com: CRISP PACKETS. As the name suggests, I’ve collected empty packets of crisps (or chips for non-UK residents) and make them available as …
I’ve just added a Changelog to Broadcast News, to remind me of all the hard work I’ve been putting in every day since January. It’s still not where I want the site to be, but it’s certainly getting there. Have a look at the new addition here: http://www.broadcast-news.co.uk/about/changelog/ Great news on the Twitter Front though: …
The Onion. TV as it should be.
I’m pleased to announce that Broadcast News is now available on media darling Twitter. Stay in touch with the latest developments while keeping up with friends and other industry news. Every time the site is updated, we’ll tweet you – and if you like the headline, you can read more on our site (or even …
My friend sent me an audio message the other day using Quick Voice. Don’t we all miss the old “coming home to check the answer phone” days? One thing that has always fascinated me was the excitement that you didn’t know if there was a message or not. Since retro is the new black, I …
I just had this great idea for a (yet ficional) gadget called CHARGEKILL. Imagine you had this device that goes between your charger and your socket. You’d have one device per charger, be that iPod, mobile, bluetooth headset, you name it. It cuts the power automatically once your appliance has stopped charging, hence saving energy. …
Looks like the migration is complete, and you’re now looking at files from the new server. Nice!
As announced earlier this year, I’ve just finished working on my latest project http://www.lightpaintings.net. As the title suggests, the site is featuring all our work around Light Paintings which used to live here exclusively in previous years: Fresh Images, Press Coverage, and a brief guide on How-To-Lightpainting. If you’re missing the old Flash interface from …
I’m very happy to see one of my images being published in the British trade magazine Broadcast Now. Written by Will Strauss, the article talks about a new traffic management system for digital media assets. When Loft London started their website last year, I was called in to take pictures of their interior, the exterior …
You have got to have a look at Justin Quinnell’s amazing Pinhole Photography. He takes pictures around the Bristol area, with exposure times of up to SIX MONTHS with absolutely fabulous results. His work is featured in an upcoming movie called “The Brothers Bloom” starring Rachel Weisz as pinhole photographer. Justin has plenty of tutorials …
