Amy, Max, and the mobile

Okay, so the last one was not an essential part of this weekend's shoot, but hey, a girl does have to check her F1 religiously. I am an F1 freak and have missed most of this season's races due to RA commitments, so while I was shooting a wonderful model I was busily checking the BBC website on my phone during the make-up breaks. Hey, and Brawn won, so all is good.

The shoot went really well, and all I can say is that everyone involved deserves gold stars for their work. Both Amy and Max were a dream, and I am pleased to say that everything went off without a hitch.

As a side note I am pleased to announce that Max has accepted my offer of becoming the third ad hoc member of the RA family, so I will be shortly posting her profile on the team section. I have worked with her on four shoots now, and honestly can say hand on heart she is a wonder make-up artist, who is a worthy addition to our small, but growing, family.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to let everyone that we are going to be working on the site over the weekend, and we have two shoots to post. One with Jaymie, and the other will be a 50's retro shoot.

Ironing out a few wrinkles

Hi guys,

I have ironed out a few wrinkles in the site, so the photography section should work a lot better now.

Cheers,

Rachel

Inspiration info 1

Hi guys,

just to give you a sneak peak at the cutting edge of Random Acts. We are in the process of putting together a new ezine called Inspiration, which will be ready with the Alpha site in the next two weeks. The idea is to fulfil our charter in new and interesting ways, and this is the perfect way of kick starting our grand plans.

There are also five photo shoots on the horizon, and the first of these should be this weekend.

Stay well,

Rachel

O Red week 111 - Star Punked

Mix link: http://media.libsyn.com/media/rejs71/2009-08-14-12-54-20.mp3

Hi guys,

this week's mix is a very cool and relaxed electro, trance, and deep house mix, with a dash of funked punk thrown in for good measure. As you will probably notice from the O Red home page - http://rejs71.libsyn.com - we are currently re branding O Red to fit in with the Random Acts family, and as this process continues you will notice a lot more changes taking place, including a planned relaunch of O Red in October 2009.

One of the immediate things you will notice is that the length of the podcast will remain a constant of around 90 minutes, unless it is the New Years of anniversary mix. This means we can keep the mixes tight, and give you all an idea of what to expect from the podcast.

Another change that will become apparent over the next few weeks is the visual rebranding of O Red, which we intend to complete in the near future. This includes a weekly podcast id image, which will start from week 112, as well as new logos etc.

Finally, and this is probably the biggest change, is that we are going back to our ethos of promoting new artists, music, and DJ's. As many of you who have been with us for the last three years know we began as a podcast with a drive to get the new and innovative out there, and somewhere along the line that changed. Not for the worse, but things changed. Now it is time to get back to those roots, and as part of the Random Acts family our ethos will shift back to the new and fresh. Ultimately we want the podcast to continue as a source of great music, and at no point will we compromise that.

Hope you enjoy the mix, Rachel
