Apprentices in Action
 

A Day in the Life of Our Students

   Right on day one, Recording Connection student Tavior Mowry (San Francisco, CA) was in for an enlightening experience at Freq Lab Recording: “My first studio session with Zach [Phillips] was really wild. I was not ready to have my mind blown from learning about sound. After doing the course work prior to the session I thought I had a solid understanding of how sound worked and reacted in different environments. It wasn’t until Zach took me into the recording room and started to point out the different characteristics of the room that made it unique. Everything from the materials used to the architecture of how the room was built to prevent parallel facings was mind blowing to me. It gave me a new understanding of just how truly elusive sound is and how the different aspects of an environment can affect sound. I look forward to increasing my knowledge of sound and to use this new found knowledge to create better mixes and productions.”    Film Connection grad Ofu Obekpa is the writer/director of Klippers, a forthcoming feature length action thriller starring none other than American wrestler Kevin Nash! Ofu, a trained actor, also has a role in the film. Ever the go-getter, Ofu talks about the motivation behind his ambitious project: “This movie came from me wanting to prove myself as a filmmaker… I was just tired of waiting for people to take notice so I just went out with a good screenplay and found great cast and crew, great talent and it was a great experience. I loved it.”   We’ll have the full lowdown in an upcoming issue of the newsletter.
