Issue #209 – Apprentices in Action
by Liya Swift
RC grad Alexa Cooper with A$AP Rocky’s FOH Manager and DJ
Since he started his externship with mentor Patrick Wimp at Digital Hydra, life is moving quickly for Film Connection student Derrick Turnage (Chicago, IL):
“These past few weeks have been really busy and awesome. I had a chance to go to WGN studio and help shoot a promo video with my mentor. I also met the entire cast of WGN news as well as the director and producers that treated us like family. I met another great Director/DP who accepted me to shadow him and is hilarious with his jokes and personality. Lastly, I met some grips, gaffers, and saw firsthand what a 1st AC does, all while also working on my own project out of town… I am truly happy right now!”
At Mix Master Pro Studios in (Burke, VI) Recording Connection student Destiny Williams is enjoying the time she’s spending sitting in on her mentor Rob Sanchez’ recording sessions where she’s connecting with fellow artists and geeking out on the gear:
“Rob and I had a late night session from 11 ‘til about 3am. Had the pleasure of meeting a dope DJ named Will Stylez and a super talented rapper named Benz…
We mixed in Pro Tools HDX which was amazing. Virtually, it allows you to rack up on multiple plugins and processors without using any CPU. Good riddance latency issues! We used FabFilter EQ for virtually every EQ’ing process…We got to play with compression, of course, using the UAD LA – 2A. A beautiful beast it is. Very clean but also adds in some shimmer to enhance harmonics just a bit more than other 2A’s that I’ve previously used.”
