So it has been a while I suppose... So where have I been?Well I was busy for the last few weeks of
college. Had an exam on Contextual Studies on the 6th of may and a bunch of assignments to hand in! I think in a past blog I talked about two studio shows we had to produce as one of our final assignments. Well the two shows, to remind you, where Vintage and High Pitched.
Vintage was an era show, that looked at past decades and annalysed it's art, music, fashion etc and talked about they're influenc
e from that decade and how they influenced eachother. The episode we would be filming was on the 80's. It waould be recorded live in studio in the college. There was a fashion section with a woman who was a fashion expert especially with 80's fashion trends. She had brought in 3 dresses/outfits to talk about. Then there was a VT segment filmed prior to the live recording of the show on how to get the perfect 80's hairdo. It was recorded in Peter Mark's in Dublin and the Hairstyle was performed by one of the resident hairdressers in the salon. The next segment looked at record sleeve artwork from bands of the era, and how it was influenced by the style of the 80's or pop culture at the time.
The only one I can remember is Joy Divisions Closer... But there where others. Oh and there was also a recorded interview we did with an expert on pop culture from the 80's and he talked about how everything influenced each other from politics to art to music to fashion etc. All I did on the show really was Tech Assistant, I just wired everything up to the studio, cameras to wallboxes, to ccu's, to studio, to monitors and vision mixer etc, auto cue to studio, and back down to cameras... etc... alot of wires... alot of mess... And it's very stuffy in the server room where the CCU's are kept... god damn sweatbox!
The second show was High Pitched. It was just your avergae music magazine type show. Live act, album review, music videos, music news. Average stuff really. I was sound assistant on the show. I had to mic up the live act, as wel las presenters etc. I decided to have my own mixing table on the studi
o floor to mic up the band, which would mix down up to the sound desk in the control room and then be put into the final mixdown to be recorded. Once again I found myself wiring alot of things. But now I've a better firsthand knowledge on how everything connects in our studio than the rest of the people in the class. And it really is poxy to get yr head around. The ccu's have a billion cables between them. Its very messy and confusing! Anyway the two acts the producer and director booked bailed out so we had to go over to the Rock School and find anyone.
A real nice guy named Osion volunteered to play some original material on acoustic guitar.
His songs where pretty cool, sadly I have no pictures from this show at all but it turned out to be pretty cool in the end with everyones input! Even though I said in an earlier blog I didn't think the second show would go as smoothly as Vintage.
Exam was grand, nothing to report on that really. Then just been getting my assignments in like crazy. Oh and the Lost Season Finale... WOW! I've also been back on Deviantart for the first time in 4 years... Pretty weird. Not gonna bother linking to it now until there's something up that I'm happy with.
Nothing else to report really... But I'll be back more often now i suppose! Now that college is done with for the summer! Woop!
