Things have been busy... and not just with location sound. The Eden Sessions in Cornwall were great fun and I was lucky enough to be involved in a couple of capacities. I worked alongside our director, Julius Brighton, and producer, Anna Meneer, to capture the backstage goings-on and to interview the bands. I had the pleasure of meeting Kasabian, Razorlight, The Kooks, Florence from Florence and the Machine, The Hours, The Maccabees and Ladyhawk. How's about that for a name drop?!
The second part of my involvement takes me back to my post production and music roots; I'm mixing the live gigs for future use on DVD or broadcast. It's been great to spend some time in one place and work with material belonging to some of the biggest names out there BUT..... I'm looking forward to my next location job to get some fresh air!
For 6 weeks during June and July myself, Rob Sissons and Morgan Lowndes from Dogbite Film Crew embarked on a massive, and slightly overwhelming, project. We designed and constructed an outside broadcast van for community use in the Penwith area of Cornwall. The 'Spriggan' is fully kitted out to industry standards and is capable of 3 camera live shoots in full HD and (more importantly) can record 16 separate tracks of audio! We worked alongside Jigsaw 24 in Nottingham who were great at helpings us kit the van out with every concievable peice of kit we needed. The van also acts as a mobile screening facility and as a large workspace. I'm working on a mini website to promote the build team and hopefully do more of the same work as its a fantastic challenge with loads of variety and great fun.
In the meantime if you'd like to take a look at a few pictures please head to the Dogbite home page and click on the blog headed 'Spriggan OB VAN'.
