Issue #191 – Apprentices in Action
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
Congrats to Recording Connection student and drummer Chris Chapman (Lancaster, PA) who just completed a rocking music video for his band’s song “Now or Never,” the third track on their soon to be released EP! Chris, who apprentices with Jason Shaffer at Full Tilt Studio says,
“I think we we’re all super happy with how the music video came out. This was the first video we did with [producer] Eric DiCarlo and he was a pleasure to work with. We hope to return to him in the future…
I edited all of the video and audio myself. The editing process is definitely my favorite part about recording these videos and seeing how it turns out after is a very rewarding feeling. One of the many reasons I joined the program at Recording Connection was to hone my skills for mixing these videos. I’ve learned a lot and have been able to develop and greatly improve my sound since starting the program. I look forward to expanding on what I’ve learned so far and apply it to what I’m doing in the future.”
Recent Film Connection grad Jason Reinhardt (Atlanta, GA) is being super proactive about his career, and it’s paying off! “I’ve been sending my resume out all over with the hopes that I’ll catch a break…Wednesday I got a message from a guy asking if I was available for the next three days (seemed suspicious, but I said yes). It’s a good thing I did? I’ll tell you why in a moment. Thursday, as part of the gig I met the producer and some other crew at the airport to help them with their equipment. Once it was in their rented vans I was done for the day. Easy enough. It wasn’t so easy the next two days. Friday I showed up at Atlanta’s Pinewood Studios. [From there] I was off to work! I was running nonstop. Every moment I was finding something to do, whether it be booming, setting up stands, or just giving water to everyone. By the end of the first day I had walked/ran almost 20 miles (my feet hurt, but I was way too happy to care). Saturday I found out what movie we were taking photos for… All I can say is that my inner nerd almost lost it (I had to sign a waiver), but I managed to keep my cool around the actors and their stunt doubles. At the end of the day I was approached by crew, producers and even one of the stunt doubles and given thanks for all the hard work I put in that weekend.”
