The Nortwest Motorfest is at the Expo Idaho Fairgrounds over the 4th of July weekend, so I dropped by to get a quick sound fix… This is a clip from the Autocross Slalom, put on by the Snake River SCCA (Sports Car Club of America). They set up a bunch of cones in the parking lot & let loose.

Mitch’s Make A Wish “Star Waiters” Movie

July 10th, 2009
Comments Off

May 2009 – I worked with the Make A Wish Foundation on a wish for Mitchell Kohler… His wish was to direct & star in a movie, so they made a “Star Wars” fan film. The actors are from Mitch’s family and the 6th grade class at Rolling Hills Public Charter School in Boise, Idaho. I did the location sound mixing & recording for the feature, which starts at around 8:45 in… The first portion is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the short movie. So, with the exception of a couple of cameo walk-ons, I wasn’t involved with the “making of” section.

The synopsis: Luke Piewalker’s family temporary tattoo parlor is destroyed by the evil Darth Waiter and he avenges the loss with a healthy food showdown at the chocolate-powered Dark Bar and Grill.

Equipment: Fostex FR2 recorder, Wendt X3 Mixer/Preamp,
Microphones: Sennheiser ME64 & ME66, Rode NT4, & Audio-Technica lavalieres.
