Issue #133 – Apprentices in Action
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
Film Connection student Nate Crockett (Charleston, SC) is looking forward to traveling with the crew at Block One Studios in coming months: “I love The Film Connection’s program so far. I recently graduated from high school, now I’m focused on getting my name out into the film industry. I’ve learned about my favorite directors and movies, as well as some interesting films I’ve never heard of. I’m very glad I found out about this program and excited to continue my work as a student. The other day my mentor told me I’d be going to Manhattan with them to film. We’ll be there for five days in September, filming a seminar. They also told me that they’ll be bringing me to Virginia where we’ll be filming a feature in December. I’m beyond excited for these opportunities and I’m very thankful for them!”
Recording Connection student Kelly Bazely (Nashville, TN) was told to take the plunge into mics by mentor Ric Web at South Street Studios: “After our lesson, Ric actually sent me to his other studio to watch a professional band get set up by some professional sound engineers. They showed me what mics they used for each instrument, and how to set them up. It was slightly overwhelming, but I took lots of notes and pictures to help me remember everything…I learned about the difference between dynamic and condenser microphones, and which ones are best for which instruments and scenarios…I also got to see the sound engineers measure the distance from the center of the snare drum to the microphone with a cable to make sure the microphones from the drum set were both equal distance apart from the snare drum. The wood chunks on the ceiling of the recording room were also really cool, and were placed there for acoustics. Looking forward to continuing the sound engineering journey!”
