One With Courage

Olive.

She found us the morning before the big snowstorm we had on Halloween. Conscientious – recyclers, we found her on Sunday morning, asleep on a box in the garage — a mere kitten, covered with fleas, ticks and totally emaciated.

As you can see — 6mos. on — she’s come a long way. And what a sweetheart – her favorite perch in on my shoulder, totally immersed in ProTools! Here, she’s in the warmth of the afternoon sun in the media room.

I’m teaching her how to edit. Stay tuned !

LeeAnne & Armie!

The reality-tv show, “Jerseylicious” came to our studios in the form of actress, LeeAnne Hutchison (AEA/SAG), promo-announcer for the series.  We connected to LARSON STUDIOS, in Hollywood via ISDN for the session.

Currently, LeeAnne is starring as ‘Lisa’ in PRIVATE EYES, a dark comedy by Steven Dietz, at Shaker Bridge Theater in Enfield. NH, near Dartmouth College.  In this play, LeeAnne has the opportunity to play opposite her husband, GRANT NEALE in this wicked play about love, lust and the power of deception!

UPDATE!  Fred Howard, master engineer at LARSON gave us a call the following day, wondering if we (by chance) had rolled a backup on the session at a higher-resolution than ISDN is capable of.  The man has ‘dog ears’!

Of course.  (In fact, our ‘safety’  is high-def, 192khz/24bit! )

Edgewood – which is not found on any map – is many houses, all put inside each other or across each other. It’s filled with and surrounded by mystery and enchantment; the further in you go, the bigger it gets.

Smoky Barnable, who has fallen in love with Daily Alice Drinkwater, travels from the City on foot to Edgewood, her family home. There he finds himself on the magical border of an otherworld.

Crowley’s work has a special alchemy – mixing the world we know with an imagined world that seems more true and real. Winner of the World Fantasy Award, Little, Big is elegant, sensual, funny, and unforgettable. It is a story of fantastic love and heartrending loss, of impossible things and unshakable destinies, and of the great Tale that envelops us all. It is a wonder.

John Crowley is an American writer who has also worked in television and documentary films. His fantasy and science fiction have established him as a major voice in imaginative writing. His other novels include The Deep, Engine Summer, and Ægypt.

We’re proud to announce that we’ve just added what is perhaps the most sonically clean and robust field recorder available: the SOUND DEVICES 744T Digital Recorder.  

The 744T is a compact, high-resolution four-track digital audio recorder with time code. It records and plays back four tracks of 16 or 24 bit audio to its internal 40 GB hard drive and/or Compact Flash medium. With sample rates between 32 kHz and 192 kHz plus full read/write time code, the 744T is the perfect tool for any critical recording environment — from over-the-shoulder to cart-based production. Back in the studio, the files are brought into the digital editing domain direct from the 744t’s hard drive in a flash via firewire, ready for audio post. Man, it just doesn’t get any easier … or better than this!

Give us a call for your next project. We’re ready to go!
