I was audio lead on the Sleepy Donut team for another Ludum Dare game jam. A 3rd place in audio out of almost 2,000 submissions? We’ll take it!
Gary Bourgeois, Jeff Wexler, Mark Mangini. If those names don’t mean anything to you, do nothing. If you’re experiencing a little bit of excitement just reading those names, you need to see these videos from LASG: Los Angeles Sound Group. They’re sort of a combination of interview and Q&A and they involve some of the biggest names in the business.
They’re at lasoundgroup.com. I was at the Mark Mangini event and found it downright inspiring. Huge thanks to my friend Steve Urban and the other fantastic people at LASG for sharing with the world. Keep up the great work!
On Friday I recorded performers worth more than half a BILLION dollars. And that was just two of them. One was my boss. Can you guess the other? Top female...
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of recording ADR for a really funny short film by many-talented director/writer/musician J Lee. Naked Eye is one long, well-told R-rated (or NC-17-rated?) joke that just knocked me out of my chair. And it stars Nelsan Ellis of HBO’s True Blood. Recording him and the rest of the cast for ADR was a treat. Visit my newly updated Sound For Picture page.
I am lucky to have the privilege of recording walla for The Cleveland Show here, in our in-house recording studio. Our supervising sound editor, Bob Newlan, comes to direct, and...
I love these guys. I’m glad to have walla back in the (semi-)regular rotation—today we recorded show 301. It was a blast as always. Bobby, Megan, Dan, David and Nikki are all talented and hilarious people, and getting to watch them see an episode for the first time would be fun enough, but then they get to fill it with laughs, screams, mumbling, gibberish and all kinds of goofiness.
Just thought I’d share that, among many other very cool things the last few months… I recorded Regan Gomez (who plays Roberta on The Cleveland Show) with her sleeping infant...
I recently got to record two very different DVD commentary sessions. One was four or five people for a full episode of The Cleveland Show. The other was a “side-by-side” segment for Family Guy, where the director of an episode was comparing the animatic (black-and-white sketch animation) to the final color version for a few short segments of the show.
I wanted to say a few things about recording DVD commentary, and generally speaking, a full-episode session with several people is significantly more challenging than a two-minute segment with one person, so I’ll focus on that Cleveland session. This setup, though, evolved out of my Family Guy experience and how my counterpart on that show, production mixer Patrick Clark, did it when I was his assistant.
I started my morning with a brief consultation for funny and super-talented actress and writer Megan Grano. She records herself at home for projects and auditions and had run into...
