Filming the Studio Edge Series Vol 2 – #2

So after starting construction for the new acoustics to be put in, I found out that my producers were not able to make it out to film because of scheduling conflicts.  This meant it was time to put another hat on and take charge.  One more project that I am producing and behind the camera at the same time.  Not an easy task, but par for the course. I pushed the schedule up  since there was no time to waste and started preparing producer tasks like, what angle would we be shooting during this segment of the script. That weekend my band was opening for the Temptations in Oklahoma and I was in the airport finishing scripts as fast as I could waiting for our next flight. Full multitasking. Once I got back, Chase and I started time lapse filming the installation of treatment that did not actually need to be specifically installed while speaking on camera.  It took the whole week to do since we were still doing sessions for most of the day and installations at night.  In the picture you can see that we did mock layouts on the floor to get an idea of what it would look like.  Then we started applying the treatment. Since we were using a new type of anchor to install our panels, it was good to go through the process, and then revise my scripts accordingly before filming.  More to come……

Filming the Studio Edge Series Vol 2

It has been a great year so far.  We left off 2010 with some nail biting news about changes coming.  Well, they are happening.  As I mentioned before I was finishing my script for The Studio Edge Pro Audio Recording Series Volume 2: Building a Studio, Acoustics, Gear selection and implementation. Now we are in the filming stage.  The only thing is, since it is about acoustics, I decided to redesign the whole Control, Drum, Guitar and Bass rooms for the filming of the tutorial.  This meant months of planning, designing and now implementation.  We have all new colors, fabric panels, and lighting which equates to a whole new creative atmosphere.  I also added some more isolation to the doors, which we filmed.  I became handyman Jim for the tutorial by breaking out the Jig saw, drills and glue. This is a very exciting time.  Can’t wait to see and HEAR the final results.  Of course, this is only part of the news.  More updates still to come.
